UK & EU are becoming less different from USA, China, India or any authoritarian state because of things like encryption-breaking laws, age verification, directives like Copyright with Article 13/17 or ACTA, etc. All because of the excuse of minors or because they believe they can moderate all content, when it has been proven that moderating on a large scale is impossible when it becomes very massive.
Sometimes at least they wouldn't have done it with bad intentions, but we know that the consequences come later.
