💨 Abstract

Tim Knight created "Use-Their-ID," a website that generates fake IDs of UK MPs to protest the Online Safety Act, which mandates age verification checks online. Critics argue the act poses significant privacy and security risks, incentivizing cheap and insecure verification methods. Over 100,000 IDs have been generated since the act's enforcement, and nearly 500,000 people have signed a petition to repeal it.
