You said it had ‘all party support’. I was pointing out that it doesn’t, which is correct.

Farage has pledged to abolish it when they come to power, as almost certainly, they will. Therefore, it’s absolutely relevant.

Privacy concerns & curtailing internet freedom were the official reasons given.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

What about the unofficial - i.e. the real - reasons?

(sigh) They really need to stop using 1984 as an instruction manual. I'm only surprised Earth isn't careering out of orbit due to the Coriolis force of Orwell spinning in his grave at Mach 20.

It's not just Orwell mate, I often hear distant echoes of Darwin screaming "I said survival of the fittest, not thickest"

Yes, and Reform have pointed out that the Act does little to protect children and is putting too many barriers in the way for adults.

I was referring to the time that the legislation was passed, not today.

According to what’s being reported, most of the images being generated are of women and children…

https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/se...dhu-k-wYA9jlTK

Quote:
Ms Kendall labelled AI-generated images of women “tied up and gagged, with bruises, covered in blood and much, much more” as being “weapons of abuse”.

Making a statement in the Commons, the Technology Secretary said the Internet Watch Foundation “reports criminal imagery of children as young as 11, including girls sexualised and toddlers”.

She continued: “This is child sexual abuse.

“We’ve seen reports of photos being shared of women in bikinis, tied up and gagged, with bruises, covered in blood, and much, much more.

“Lives can and have been devastated by this content which is designed to harass, torment and violate people’s dignity.

“They are not harmless images.

“They’re weapons of abuse, disproportionately aimed at women and girls, and they are illegal.”

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

not so long ago the UK was to become an AI superpower, now it's getting shut down ,shoved in a box and buried under a mountain of regulations, ah well back to the drawing board [literally]
