Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

Two interesting observations;

Firstly https://cybernews.com/tech/pornhub-a...ewership-drop/

OK so Pornhub has seen an (apparently) massive drop in traffic since the introduction of the OSA, but has it? I wonder if there has been a corresponding massive increase in traffic from, say, Scandinavia, which has a number of VPN endpoints?

Alternatively, Pornhub and its sister companies have implemented some kind of age verification as required. I wonder if that just hasn’t had the effect of pushing people to some, let us say, 'less scupluous’ sites, who may host some far more harmful* material?

And then we have this; https://www.theguardian.com/society/...t-commissioner

Which does, on the face of it, seem to be claiming that the OSA has been a complete failure, in fact has worsened the situation. Or that they are pushing for even more regulatory powers? What do you think?

I am reminded of the 'Law of Unintended Consequences’!
