Grave concerns regarding 'Important Update: New Over 18 Age Requirement for the Online Community'

This and similar moves elsewhere are a serious concern to me!

Next verification will be required.

I am diagnosed schizophrenic with paranoia and have fallen in with the 'wrong crowd' due to autistic naivety.

One went to prison and despite assurances I would not see him again, he confronted me and was removed by police.

I wish to remain anonymous for these and other reasons.

I am indoors 166 hrs a week and avoid going out as I shout at voices.

I don't speak on the phone either and have sacked my support workers.

Online is [almost] all I have.

I am 50 yrs old yet recently google restricted my account asking for credit card or photo id.

I have neither due to an LPA but would not provide them anyway as when psychotic believe I am being watched, recorded and monitored so 'big brother' [google et al] is particularly bad for my health leaving me vulnerable to [dangerous] relapse.

Instagram and other sites have closed accounts of mine for failure to upload my image.

I am concerned if verification is required my entire world could be limited to myself, the occasional delivery driver and distressing, hostile voices.

NAS please assure me [and others] this will NOT be the case.

With anticipatory gratitude and best wishes,

KP [not my real initials!!]

  • I hope we're not asked for verification either as I have no way of getting it online as I don't have a camera, a smart phone, or the knowlege.

    I think all this need for verification is getting too much, if you don't have the right documents you're stuffed and it's not like the multiples of documents they want aren't easily forged.
