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

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
I don't know why the government is dithering about this. Let me state it plainly: PRODUCTION OF SEXUALISED IMAGES OF MINORS (defined as under 18) IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THIS COUNTRY. I heard of a bloke who got a prison sentence for owning pics of under-18 girls and they weren't even nude, just in bikinis. So anyone ordering production of such images via Grok can be said to be producing them, and they are therefore legally liable as child pornographers. The same for abuse/violence, under the Criminal Justice Bill (or is it an Act now?).
As for Musk allowing this, he should be extradited and arrested IMO for facilitating the creation of such images. He doesn't seem to get why people are upset. As one critic said, he's a man-child. I agree. What part of 'criminal offence' doesn't this moron get?
Clearly, being a genius and being smart are not the same thing.
As for me, I'm quite looking forward to an interviewer asking about my social media use...I'll get to see the look on their face when I tell them I have zero presence on Facebook (I refuse to call it Meta even though I don't use it), Twitter (same), Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp or anything similar. Never used them, never will. As much as my life sucks, it is at least a life. 
In fact, since I can't provide 5 years' worth of social media use seeing as I've never used it, I don't think I'd be allowed into the Un-united Nazi States...not that I intend or could ever afford to go anyway.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Social Media presence . . no thanks.
Spent most of my life trying to avoid idiots, shysters, University educated tosspots, and the 'Walter Mitty' type people . . not to mention experts who mainly tell you what you already know.
No way am I now going to actively go looking for them

Sometimes it sure seems like the bottom layer, but if you're going to class a 'forum' as social media you may as well add in News/Media sites, Government information pages, Medical advice sites and anything else posted on the absolutely fabulous (and in no way dangerous or misleading) internet
