The origins of the Online Safety Act go back to the Cameron Government of 2016 and it's felt that, with the pace of technological change, it now needs updating.

If by "Updating" you mean throwing out, then yes.

And what technological change exactly ?

Yep, will probably get changed to prohibit anyone over the age of 68 being able to claim their pension without written proof of their identity . . from a grandparent

Judging by your last few posts, it looks like you are a prototype Reform LLM Chatbot, so you will have to permission from ENIAC… ;)

Me? a chatbot? :rofl:

I just say it as I see it . . no rose coloured glasses here.

Not much of what I say is covered with a fresh coat of rainbow paint, or dressed up to be something else, a spade is a spade not a spoonful of sugar ;)

what you see is what you get . . . although the way things are going regarding free speech it won't last much longer :D

And that’s the challenge with self-perception (for all of us)

We see ourselves as the Shining Knights of Truth

whilst not realising how others may perceive us…

Horw dare you do that :shocked: , you must realise that you will melt the snowflakes saying such things.

The offended got what they asked for and now they want more. It will not end until they have turned us into North Korea

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

A Shining Knight of Truth? . . not in a million years, more like someone who can see beyond the bullshit

and (unlike many who cry about it) I don't give two flying ones about how I'm perceived by others. I'm proud to still be an individual, and have no wish to climb into one of the select boxes that 'society' wants me to fit into.

It will be a joke having to prove I'm over 16 on something I have been using for 16+ years


TBH


The blame is with parents, they should block these sites on the phone they bought, if they don't know how ask the shop they got the phone from

It was announced today that the streamers will be required to follow the same rules on content and accessibility as traditional broadcasters like the BBC and that this will be regulated by Ofcom.

I wonder, as TV is moved over to internet delivery, if people will be required to verify their age before being allowed to watch adult programming?

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Well that sort of defines the 'Online Safety Bill' as not so much protecting children but more of a data collecting gimmick.

I suppose someone needs to get the use out of all these new Data Centers otherwise why build them? :rolleyes:

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Reform UK will ditch it in favour of something a lot less draconian.
