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.

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.

📬 TikTok illegaler Handel: Wird die Videoplattform zum neuen Darknet?

Still waiting for #DoubleDownNews to respond to my suggestion they report on #OpenSource and decentralised #SocialMedia alternatives, as well as discussing the surveillance that comes with the #OnlineSafetyAct.
They say paid members can suggest topics for them to discuss, and all paid tiers are equal.
But perhaps some tiers are more equal than others.

Due to the UK's ridiculous Internet laws I cannot view the images on some delightful work on SimCity4 unless I have a VPN.
And the crackpot UK Government want to ban the use of VPN's now! -

Recall that #Kremlin #Russia began to ban online resources for "propaganda of suicide", and in particular for "descriptions of acts of self-harm or suicide" back in 2013: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD_%E2%84%96_398-%D0%A4%D0%97_2013_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0.
The noun "#Roskomnadzor", the name of the agency responsible for censorship, soon became a verb: "to commit [ROSKOMNADZOR]" was RuNet's new "convert to Islam".
Nine years before the full-scale war.

The OSA has created a market for information about circumventing state safety controls, just like in Iran, China, etc… except that we have free speech. The result will be a government war on information:
Age verification advocates in government warned they would be severely punishing any “platforms” that hinted using VPNs to circumvent age verification controls.
They did not understand that third party publications would begin aggregating “Which”-style lists of “top 10 age verification circumvention-hassle tools”, advertising those lists everywhere as a resource/for clicks.
So what are they going to do now? Ban people from talking about how to circumvent age verification? Drive the teenagers and everyone else even further underground, in pursuit of “perfection” rather than “good” – compare this from 2019:
“The Secretary of State should not make the perfect the enemy of the good when it comes to child protection, especially after so many assurances have been given by the Government that once the privacy issues have been dealt with, and they now have been, these regulations would be brought into law. For the Government to renege on its commitments in this important area is a very retrograde step, and I urge my Honourable Friend and the Secretary of State to think again.”
The government should be content with good and should let the dust settle

I’m absolutely gobsmacked that there is *mention* of “Scrapping the OSA” in PoliticsHome…
…even if it’s an argument against scrappage. Imran Ahmed of CCDH appeals to half-truths:
- “nothing in the act requires the removal of lawful speech”
- “[the OSA has] a proactive requirement to protect freedom of expression”, and
- (para.) “Elon hates the OSA so it must be good”
They’re starting to worry…
…and if they are building their house on foundations of half truth then they are going to have a hard time in the long run.
The House | Claims that Online Safety Act curbs free speech ring hollow from platforms that seek to close down criticism

You know what doesn't ask for ID? Piracy.
Want adult content without handing over PII? Piracy.
Want to listen to music without PII? Piracy.
Want to watch TV shows without divulging your PII? Well would you believe it? Piracy.
Want to read censored material like, oh I don't know, how to homebrew your own beer? Use a VPN or better yet, use TOR.The #onlinesafetyact - teaching children and adults alike to sail the high seas.

Microsoft are introducing Age Verification in the UK for Xbox social content because our sad little country have, once again, elected idiots to government
"users who don't complete this check between now and early 2026 will be limited to friends-only communication - and will miss out on "full access to social features on Xbox, such as voice or text communication and game invites".
Those users will still be able to play and enjoy Xbox online, however, just not with the full suite of social features."
The choices are:
Don't send MS ID documents - auto block of all random idiots on Xbox messages and game invites. Keep you privacy and security
Send MS ID documents - keep getting abusive Xbox messages from trolls and have random game invites. Risk your privacy and security
Please Microsoft. Don't threaten me with a good time

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.
