Understood but I'm questioning whether the ban has been a success

Re: Online Safety Bill
How on earth would we know that ? Also, whats the definition of "success" ?
Banning apps on "company" phones is hardly new, many restrict what you can have on them.

I think the American TikTok ban (from the Biden administration) is supposed to come in on Sunday, but Trump is said to be against it because the platform helped him win his presidency, so who knows what will happen.

Re: Online Safety Bill
The BBC news has reported that Trump has said that he will give them a temporary extension of 90 days I think they said.

..but while TikTok’s shutdown lasted just a few hours, securing the app’s long-term future in the United States is likely to be more complicated.

Re: Online Safety Bill
Surely until he is actually in office and starts to do something they would be breaking the law?

I think they've been given assurances that no action will be taken.
Trump says that he would like TikTok to be 50% US owned. I wonder if by this he means if TikTok give 50% of the company to the American Government he will allow them to continue? After all, 50% of their US trade is better than none and would (in theory) allow any security issues to be dealt with.
If it comes off, maybe we should do the same to raise some money for the public coffers.

Re: Online Safety Bill
It's unfortunate that the Online Safety Act provision whereby Ofcom are able to order websites to take down material doesn't come in until March.
The murderer of those little girls in Southport had been reading inappropriate material, such as white genocide, before he went out and committed these heinous crimes.
The Government has asked the user to user sites to do so voluntarily, so let's hope that they defy convention and have the decency to do so.

Yes, it’s the fault of the internet, and Amazon and definitely nothing to do with the failure of any and all government agencies involved that did nothing…..……………..
