Text on the meme
The internet in 1997: "First rule of the internet, is to never share your private info on the web, even a pic of your face" The internet in 2026: ALERT You are unable to access GTA Online. Please verify your age with an official ID or photo to continue. Returning to Grand Theft Auto V.
What it means

The clip contrasts the old internet rule of protecting personal information with the 2026 internet demanding face scans, identity documents, age verification, and access to private data. A rapid montage of verification screens escalates the joke until a shocked gamer reacts to being locked out of GTA Online, while Soap&Skin’s dark, ominous song “Me and the Devil” makes the privacy dystopia feel dramatically catastrophic.
