I'm not a UK User, and I was just quietly browsing reddit from time to time until I heard that Microsoft is rolling out an ID gate for chat in Minecraft to comply with the online safety act. There's also a possibility of this being rolled out globally since Xbox age verification is planned to be global as well.
YouTube did it, Discord is doing it, Roblox did it. now (in the UK for now), you need an ID to use Minecraft chat...when will people finally start doing stuff?
also,.how can this chat restriction even be enforced on Java? with how open source Java is, people could code bypasses. on bedrock it's easily enforceable but on Java I don't understand how since it's decentralized. in what kind of mind does "protecting the kids" mean you need a driver's license to chat on Minecraft with friends?
