Citizen, we need you to come down to the station while we verify your actual status.

You see where this is headed?

Thinking of when it becomes law.
: Sorry you couldn't work that out. Should have remembered what a friend for mine , whom was a TV reporter said when I asked why he asked such obvious questions," you have to ask for the most stupid person you can think of."

Skip to the 1 hour mark to see what all ISP's should be forced to introduce and why parents should be educated on how to enable blocks.

The software has now been updated to the latest one, and I am planning on making a follow up within the next month or so, still got a lot to deal with but it gives an idea on the ease at which things can be controlled at home, without government intervention or loss of privacy.

Although it wouldn't stop kids seeing comments, there is another option in the software where you can make it "Safe for work" essentially which is what holiday parks etc use which disables the ability to make or see the comments on YouTube.

That sort of thing could be implemented onto home routers, kids phones etc and if a kid is found with a phone that is not classed as a "kids phone" the parents get fined.

It's quite simple really but that won't make money for the companies who are taking your data, monitoring everything you do on the internet via the likes of Yoti etc and from selling you access to a VPN in order to get around the restrictions they are pushing to be implemented in order to make money from VPN sales.

The amount of bad VPN's hitting the markets is astronomical and I am telling you now, if you have kids keep an eye on what VPN they install, because they will install one, because there are ones forcing ad's to be watched, ones which are turning the mic's and cameras on, on devices and recording the user's, all this OSA and Social Media ban is doing is exposing the kids to more danger, but hey what do those with common sense know.

Heard someone say this morning that the only way to stop children accessing YouTube on the TV app is via the router.

Good point about bad VPN's, children trying to circumvent the ban are likely to go for the first free one they come across.

I just noticed that it includes "YouTube", since when has YT been "Social Media" ?
Its utterly ridiculous, my grandaughter loves all the stuff like Bluey, Peppa Pig etc that she can watch on YouTube. Its full of proper kids stuff.

Are there any ads on YouTube Kids?

Yep and when you have a government who see no issues with going into schools and then telling kids, "your dad is wrong" because the kid's dad opposes what Labour are saying, you know the only ad's going to be allowed to be shown in the UK are "Labour Approved Propaganda".

When the Conservatives or Reform or who ever is in next, they will do the same, control the message seen by kids in order to try and control who they vote for, try to stop them seeing a counter argument to everything the government says.

All about control, not about protecting children.

When I get some money, I am grabbing a 3 year VPN from PIA, I will then go into my router and most of the traffic from my network will be routed over the VPN.

My brothers eldest daughter was staying here for a few days whilst her dad was doing the celtman, she couldn't go because of exams, I gave her an experience of what it would be like if she was living in the era of what it will be like when this government implement all the stuff they want to, let's just say she hated it and because she will be able to vote at the next election said she will not be voting for the clowns in charge now!

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

It's a damn shame that this thing can't have a trial period of one week . . sometime in the next few months . . so that the general population and the Government can see the problems that are sure to arise.

it's gonna be too late once it's law

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safe...al-media-users

Right at the start of the document they state "but almost 3 in 10 adults (27%) say they have recently been exposed to potentially harmful content", the question is how "sensitive" was the person who decided what is "harmful content, violent etc"

The Government have done this to be skewed to how they want it to come out, they were never going to do anything but what they wanted.

It's the same with my local council they say "have your say on these roadworks" meanwhile they have already instructed utility companies that the work is going ahead on X date making the consultation pointless.

Said before and I will say it again, welcome to North Korea where soon we will all have to have photos of Starmer on our wall's, wake up each morning and have to salute, bow and then say "Good Morning Lord".

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

Can we change the thread title to

"the state censorship and data collection bill"

:D

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

So as suspected all the surveys, all the consultations carried out by the Government have been nothing but a way to lie and commit fraud on the population of the UK.

https://consumerrights.wiki/w/User:L...e_verification

None of the surveys or consultations included the ability to say "There should be no ban at all" with all questions only being able to be answered as "yes there should be a ban" effectively, the only difference being what age the ban should be from.

And for those who think Yoti is safe, well think again, they have been fined for illegally tracking users, breaching GDPR and although they are appealing it and it might seem like nothing, it is actually a bigger deal than you think considering they say "we don't send or use your data" only to be found to be not only using but also sending your data to ad companies etc.

I will keep saying, the OSA etc is not about safety of children!

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

Spies, snoopers and personal info 'dredgers' are everywhere, yet many people still keep giving their (valuable) info away.

They'd soon complain if the postman opened and read all their mail before shoving it in the letterbox :D
