Online Safety Bill Etc

[damien c]

This video should help to understand why the Government regardless of which party it is, should not be trying to make the internet safer, when they cannot keep our information safe!

Just wait till you cannot use a computer without proving your age, or making a phone call without proving your age because that is coming, it's already in iPhones, it's being added to Windows, Linux, Macos and others, it's being added to Android and there will be a removal of all "Non-Smart Phones" from the market so you cannot just buy the likes of an old Nokia 3310 etc to get around it.

This is currently going through the motions in the lunatic state of California with the as equally insane EU planning to implement it, and apparently Dictator Starmer also looking to have it implemented.


The annoying thing is I tried to set up a road tax reminder yesterday and you cannot do that now without having a government digital id, I wonder how long it will be before you cannot tax a vehicle without one or even buy fuel without one.

This whole world is going mad for mass surveillance, monitoring and control.

In the UK parents seem to be going back to non smartphones in order to keep their kids safer.

Which is fine as a choice, what is not acceptable is trying to force it.

You fail to understand.

In the UK they will remove the "Non-Smart" phones because the Government cannot force a "Age Restriction" on them nor can they track them as easily as a Smart Phone.

If the Government cannot force you to have a Digital ID, they will force you to hand over your current ID in order to use any device or service they possibly can.

You cannot trust this government or the previous governments to keep you or your children safe, when they cannot keep themselves safe or the information they currently have on you.

When my late father in law was in a care home, we got him a basic mobile so he could keep in contact with his family. He wouldn’t have understood the tech on a smart phone. So there is still a market for them with the elderly.

Conversely, there also seems to be a demand for them as burner phones with drug dealers, as they are apparently not so easy to trace/track.
