Snoopers charter bullshit, and as always the excuse of protecting kids is the same lie we’ve heard trotted out for years whenever the Tories want to be fascists.
Not like it would prevent anything either, as soon as they do it, people would find ways around the verification.
This bill is an attack on privacy, not going to engage with their lies by calling it anything else.
Use a VPN if it is. Simple. Non story, and just why this bill wont do anything
Non story. If you read the article it goes on to say that a government representative has stated that it is highly unlikely that Wikipedia would fall under the category that would require the verification and checks that Wikipedia is opposed to.
> A spokesperson for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said: “The world-leading online safety bill has been designed to strike the balance between tackling harm without imposing unnecessary burdens on low-risk tech companies. Ofcom will take a reasonable and proportionate approach when monitoring and enforcing the safety duties outlined in bill, focusing on services where the risk of harm is highest.”
Okay, fair enough, but “world-leading”? Is your government required to attach that everywhere? Who is this bill leading?
This is complete bollocks, it will never happen.
Complete nonsense article, but what else do you expect from the Grauniad. Newspaper written by complete bellends for people with no critical thinking.
The internet should blackout UK access for a day in protest of this, this is extreme.
Do it. There should be a full blackout like there was when SOPA was being suggested in America. Every widely used website should block their UK userbase until people turn against this insidious piece of government overreach.
_”Oh won’t somebody please think of the children!!!”_
if only there was a way to get information without the internet….
No difference between the Tory government and Labour one when it comes to nanny state, moral panic, woke nonsense like restricting access to things because it’s offensive. Book burning ceremonies next?
More fucking Tory shite. How many times have they tried this bullshit?
