    Potentially hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement (mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/), Ofcom has today announced:

    > Enforcement programme into measures being taken by services to prevent users from encountering or sharing non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)

    You might recall that Ofcom has previously updated its Illegal Content Code of Practice, to

    > recommend that those service providers that fall within scope use hash matching technology to detect NCII, for the purpose of then making an illegal content judgement.

    The new code comes into force on 30 September 2026.

    It will be interesting to see which services Ofcom considers are of greatest risk here.

    UK #OnlineSafetyAct announcements today

    > the government is today committing to introducing primary legislation to require major tech platforms to build in device-level protections for children

    ...

    > the government will also require apps - that children use - to prevent them from accessing or sharing nudity, as soon as possible

    The detail of these will be interesting.

    New post: Is 2026 the year digital freedom snaps, or the year you take it back?

    Age checks become ID rails. Encryption gets squeezed. Compliance shapes speech. Self-custody gets more friction.

    I break down what’s in motion for 2026, then share steps you can take without going off-grid.

    The UK has effectively rejected the petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, sticking to the “no plans to repeal” position while Ofcom continues rolling it out.

    Whatever your politics, you should care when “safety” becomes the excuse for age checks, Identity creep, and pressure on encryption. Once this stuff becomes infrastructure, it’s hard to undo.

    So basically the best way to attack the online safety act is to hit where it hurts the most (their wallets) #uk #goverment #OnlineSafetyAct #ukpolitics #money
