Peter, I was looking forward to listening to this Democracy for Sale discussion and was hit by this demand from Substack that I share my PII to prove my age – "Deleted instantly after 7 days(sic)". GDPR infraction! A problem with your video meta data? Certainly a problem with the Online Safety act:
This is not the choice. The choice is whether or not I want personalised advertising at the price of yielding my data or accept non-personalised advertising and enjoy my privacy. Instead the Guardian and many other papers demand my data or £5 a month. My privacy. Fuck off!

Just in case you are wondering what is happening with Sam and Jony and "io", here is the "iyo" IP problem writ large. Shades of pre launch "iPhone" worries for Steve Jobs and iPhone team at Apple in 2007?
Wrong choice Guardian. Cookies are abuse of my personal data and you're under an obligation to allow me to decline. So I won't now be reviewing your article as a referenced source for this tweet and I won't accept your menace to share my data with data brokers. Find another way.
