Old Boy, please put us out of our misery by backing up your statement:
A link on a review of internal diversity networks is not it!

As was intimated earlier, let's get back on topic

(or resume the discussion in the appropriate thread)

Godsake! :sniper:

Moving on…

A recent report outlines that the existence of terrorist generative AI chatbots could potentially pose a major threat whether they are made for shock value, experimentation or even satire.

“The new Online Safety Act is unsuited to sophisticated generative AI,” the report stated.

The politicians will struggle to keep the Online Safety Act up to date. But we all knew that.

The Government says that it's been designed to be responsive to changes.

They have acknowledged that some things might need to be changed, strengthened or weakened as required.

Re: Online Safety Bill
 

Politicians that don't know what they're doing issue a holding reply. I'm stunned.

Re: Online Safety Bill
 

No, this is what they said whilst it was being formed and as it was going through Parliament.

Re: Online Safety Bill
 

And when this set of politicians get kicked out and replaced by the next one? And the next set replaced by the one after that?

It’s a hollow shell of words that don’t actually say anything while pandering to some curtain twitchers wet dreams of a society where there is thoughtcrime.

Privacy tools could be vetoed by UK Ministers as part of the plan to improve public safety:

The owner of Omegle has shut down his site after legal action became too much for him. Before reading please be advised that this link refers to children being exposed to lewd acts & sexual abuse:

Re: Online Safety Bill
 

'Omegle was a free, web-based online chat service that allowed users to socialize with others without the need to register. The service randomly paired users in one-on-one chat sessions where they could chat anonymously.'

Well no surprise there then really is it.

Re: Online Safety Bill
 

Unfortunately not. A marvellous idea for strangers to interact with each other & learn about different cultures, lifestyles etc has again been spoiled by the actions of the minority.

If this isn't appropriately dealt with I fear that Governments will use this as a perfect excusr to curtail the freedoms offered by
the 8nternet.

Looks like America is also losing patience with user generated sites not protecting users. The owners of websites are openly being laughed at with the refusal to answer questions and the
nonsense that they are coming out with.

All vulnerable people should be protected, but children especially so. This is why Ofcom are Prioritising the online Safety Act to deal with this first, but complaints can still be made about other issues.

Re: Online Safety Bill
 

The first feature on this evenings The One Show showed how Facebook are letting people down:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001vwsp

After having their accounts taken over by scammers, they then proceeded to scam the friends & family of individuals in their name.

This was reported to Facebook who decided that no action needed to be taken because they hadn't broken any rules!!

Ofcom has found that a lot of problems are being caused by websites not enforcing their own rules, which they intend to deal with.
