And all service providers/hosts around the world are expected to comply.
Here’s one summary of the looming access control measures.
Reading and understanding all this (and the linked sources) feels so… difficult, obtuse, complex.
I forsee open directories and data hordes becoming popular
Im surprised this is the first Ive heard, and so little response. Who do we petition, when’s the march?
Inshitification of the Internet, who would have thought.
I wonder what it would take now to ditch the internet like one would do when ditching Facebook for example.
It would be somewhat freeing, I imagine. Though, if you were to go hardcore, quick access to knowledge would be the biggest drawback.
Ditching the enshittified parts would probably be easier. Can do offline maps (or paper), purge social media, and use credible sites for any information you might need to look up.
I doubt it would be 100% completely possible, it was more of a hypothetical thought in its self.
Knowing most services are reliant on the internet now, such a POS (point of sale) devices in stores, home phones, condo intercoms, buying airline tickets.
Its would definitely be easier to just stay away or block enshitified parts at the firewall level. Though in some cases even then I find myself using Facebook for its Marketplace only as a example.

Don’t they already check if user is over 16 if he wants to sign up for mainstream social media?
And why the fuck does the govt. not provide the age verification tools? This is the insane part.
Will it come to india ?
Yes. The powers that be now understand what the internet is, and they want to fully control it in every possible way. Not only for their interests, but to make sure the interests of their enemies are thwarted.
What even are the material interests of those who want to make access to porn difficult?
