So we had to sacrifice our #privacy and upload ID to sketchy websites, other websites had to disable comments, and still the #OnlineSafetyAct didn't actually deliver the supposed benefits to young people that we were all promised?
'More than a year after the OSA's key child protection duties took effect, de Souza told MPs and peers that young people had little understanding of the legislation or how it was intended to change their online experiences.'

> Ofcom has today fined an online porn provider £700,000 for not having age checks in place, and a further £30,000 for failing to respond to a legally binding information request.
I had not heard of "xgroovy" before this enforcement action...
This site now has age verification in place; the fine related to July 2025 - November 2025.
I wouldn't bank on HM Treasury receiving payment of this fine any time soon :)

This update from Ofcom, in terms of enforcement action under the #OnlineSafetyAct against Mega, for a file sharing service, is interesting - and probably comforting - in terms of how Ofcom and Mega engaged collaboratively, to solve a perceived issue, rather than Ofcom going straight to enforcement.
> We welcome the proactive approach that Mega has taken to engaging with Ofcom and its commitment to making timely and tangible improvements to the design and operation of its service Transfer.it.
> Considering Mega’s constructive approach to engaging with Ofcom, its willingness to make improvements to the design and operation of its service to directly address our concerns, and our desire to work productively with providers where possible to drive rapid improvements that increase the safety of UK users, we have decided to close this period of compliance remediation with Mega and take no further action at this time.

"This week a massive new data breach has been revealed that should put the nail in the coffin for the idea that any sort of age or identity verification could be safe. 153 million scans of drivers licenses easily available based on this breach, with more being added all the time. Literally on the day it was revealed, it added another 400,000 records to its available database."

Wbito kolejny gwóźdź do trumny wolności brytyjskiego internetu. Od dzisiaj ustawa "Online Safety Act" wprowadza nowe upierdliwe wymagania na dostawców usług. Za niedopełnienie obowiązków grozi maksymalnie kara w wysokości "jedynie" 18 milionów funtów.
Niech nas latający potwór spagetti chroni od takich pomysłów w Polsce.
