How do I get rid of the online safety act twitter crap?

I'm on microsoft edge and this used to only happen on waterfox. Now even with NordVPN this happens. I don't want to clear my cookies.

Might be a stupid question, but If you are using NordVPN, have you set it to another country?
I never get asked to verify my age when using X, or any other age restricted content.
Ok-Government-1243@reddit (OP)
I tried the UK, Ireland, the US, Zambia, Uganda etc.

NordVPN is pretty bad, but try setting it to a non UK country before logging in, it probably registers the country you logged in from.
Mr-Incy@reddit
I use NordVPN, not had an issue with it.

UK won't work as it is where the age restriction verification is needed.
Set it to Germany, Netherlands, US, almost anywhere.
Drug_Taker917@reddit
Set your twitter location to the US in settings
Ok-Government-1243@reddit (OP)
Did that
Drug_Taker917@reddit
It worked for me, so idk what else to suggest
bastard_rabbit@reddit
All those may have age restrictions on content as well. A lot of US states do. Netherlands, as already suggested, or Scandinavian countries are always a good shout.

Did you check if your IP actually changed when you put on the VPN?
-oioimate@reddit
Those are odd places to VPN to, use the Netherlands or something

Firstly, get off twatter Secondly use google to do basic questions

Use Tor browser.
Alternatively, try xcancel.
Vast_Association_912@reddit
Yeah that’s account-based now, not cookies and have to verify age in settings.
This_Suit8791@reddit
Prove your age
Ok-Government-1243@reddit (OP)
It works on mobile but I'm not handing over my ID.
This_Suit8791@reddit
Well you can’t view it then
onionsareawful@reddit
X / Twitter uses a really bad ID verification system. Get up an image of a random sample ID on your phone, and point it at your webcam. Worked for me.
EvilTaffyapple@reddit
Sounds like you’re out of luck then
OldLondon@reddit
Then don’t view the content?
T_raltixx@reddit
Use a VPN
