Note that this proposal is about "nude images".
Not "pornography", but merely "nude" photos and videos.
Not non-consensual nude imagery, but consensual nude imagery too.

These seem very strongly worded principles. I can't see this coming to pass (even if the law demands it).
Perhaps the actual legislation will be limited in scope.
> It must be impossible for anyone under the age of 18 to take, view or send nude images.
...
> The only way for any user to take, view or send nude images should be for an adult to verify their age through a robust age-assurance process.

Why thank you #Steam, it's absolutely impossible for you to verify my adulthood any other way than with a credit card… :flan_XD: #OnlineSafetyAct

Potentially hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement (https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/117236701809921531), 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.

The Open Rights Group warns that the UK's Online Safety Act is stifling free expression/speech by forcing platforms to over-censor content, impose age verification on sites like Reddit and Spotify, and even block Palestine protest discussions. 🚨 Small sites are shutting down under the burden.
