Oh, it's cascading. So, I still look at twitter to follow 2 handfuls of artists that could not realistically leave the site without losing too much of their fanbase, existing portfolio, brand name and everything you get from being active on a platform for so long. Also just some adult stuff. I'll be real, yeah. So, I got hit with a warning when I tried looking at some one I know and their gallery/Media tab:

"Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age."
The solution they offer is to pay them and thus automaticly give them banking details. Upload your ID and just give them everything that's on there. Do a sort of Live-selfie where you might be asked put on expressions to verify. Be lucky enough to have an account that's ancient. Or you should have been loud about your age from the start so their LLM could scan your profile for it.
(Still not being allowed more then 10 messages per day is a bit of a drag on this social part of the site. I know the profile and comment side is like, 5% of the site, but still)
Sure, I've started to loathe the whole site minus the people I follow and some small interactions I had and sometimes see. But we can't feed the place and people we dislike to an all consuming monster and hope it'll be done after that. I gotta stick up for the UK and large-parts-of-the European users of twitter on this one. I hate your platform, but I can't let dumbshits take it away from you.
these laws are an incredibly convienent way to track even more user data for profit, its really sick
(sick as in fucked up***)
