Having an opinion isn't forbidden anywhere in the UK, just unlawful behaviour.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

It depends on what that opinion is.

Like writing on a piece of cardboard, what a waste of police time and the cash to pay them

Saw a tweet earlier that said Britain's most tattooed man can't watch porn now because sites can't verify his face :)

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

I can't think of any opinions that aren't allowed in the UK.

Some may be frowned upon and it may be against the law to publically state them, but holding such an opinion and expressing it within the privacy of your own home shouldn't cause any issues.

By contrast with the United Arab Emirates, people can be sent to prison for doing such things as leaving a bad company review or sharing details of a charitable cause, even if done outside the UAE where these activities are legal!

Ummmmm.

Well then they are not allowed are they. :sleep:

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

What about this one, should someone go to jail for this?

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Yep I have seen a couple and they are well, quite funny.

A certain person is going be used for all sorts of things I think :D

Over lunch today at work we were chatting about the online safety bill and how much of a pain it was, we then did a straw poll and out of the 18 in our team 12 are now using a VPN. It's shocking we now have to use a VPN to get around age checks on the likes of YouTube, Spotify, and other sites because the UK Government is sending us down the same route as Chine and North Korea

too bloody right hahaha

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

I haven't come across age verification at all yet. However my main interests are cricket and gardening. You should see the size of my cucumbers this year :)

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

both boring old fart activities so no age check needed;)

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Be careful, the way the UK is going Cucumbers will soon have an age limit, you never know what they could be used for :erm:

:naughty:

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

YouTube are currently testing a system to check if someone is over 18 by looking at what videos they have watched in the past.

If the system deems that they are under 18, their account will be restricted.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Another moronic system.
So as long as they watched loads of porn, they will be ok.

I very much doubt I watch anything on youtube that would say I'm definitely over 18.
In fact in recent years it largely been kids stuff for my GD.
