The UK just implemented mandatory identification requirements for internet access, and other countries are watching closely to copy this playbook. What started as "age verification" has become a system that eliminates anonymous browsing and creates a permanent record of your online activity. I'll break down exactly how this works, why it's spreading globally, and what this means for anyone who values privacy online. Techlore empowers individuals with practical digital privacy knowledge, security tools, and advocacy resources. Discover how to protect your online data and regain control of your digital identity.
