Re: Online Safety Bill

BBC 6PM news reporting that they have traced a Nazi who was instrumental in causing the summer riots:

In response, the Government said it is to 'Work at pace to implement the Online Safety Act', this will give them the power to force websites to remove innapropriate content.

The BBC has confronted a neo-Nazi in Finland who shared online instructions on how to commit arson with UK rioters during the summer.

The 20-year-old was an administrator in the Southport Wake Up group on the Telegram messaging app, where he was known as “Mr AG”. He posted the arson manual, which was pinned to the top of the group chat.

In late July and early August, the group was key in helping to organise and provoke protests that turned to violence in England and Northern Ireland.

We tracked Mr AG - whose real name is Charles-Emmanuel Mikko Rasanen - to an apartment on the outskirts of the Finnish capital, Helsinki...

The manual is believed to have been written by a Russian fascist group proscribed as terrorists in their own country.

It includes details on how to avoid the police and it encourages the targeting of Muslims and Jews.

Underneath the post, other members wrote aggressive and offensive comments, including: “I’m ready for these migrant boys,” while another describes “invaders” as “a stupid bunch underestimating whites”.

Mr AG pinned the post to the top of the group, which meant it was in full view of all 14,000 members when they logged in.

According to this, we can. A new arrangement has had to be put in place because of Brexit:

In what way is helping to protect children 'wasting money'?

Which money are you talking about?

Re: Online Safety Bill

As efforts to protect children continue, from next year websites will be required to assess the risk that their content may be harmful to children.

Steps include filtering out the material or downranking it, so it doesn't appear in children's feeds.

Ofcom chief Dame Melanie Dawes said it was the responsibility of the firms - not parents or children - to make sure people were safe online.

I'd love to see the younger generations face when they realise Apple won't be inventing a device that wipes their arse. Normal service will then resume.
