Even as an American with everything going on here, this bullshit makes me feel bad for the Brits. How fucked up is that?

I think only the UK does this now, the EU is in planning phase. Even the countries that have dictatorship don't do age verification for Wikipedia. The UK seems to be going through a phase similar to when books were banned because of content and considering that many people read online books this will definitely affect digital book readers.

Ruzzia wanted to ban Wikipedia. It's dangerous to propaganda.
