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."

OSA has destroyed countless well-run small independent forums and gathering spaces, had zero effect on the most flagrant abuse (which it was sold as fixing).. and now a survey of kids says it made absolutely no difference.
Gee, who could possibly have predicted this?

UK's Online Safety Act Fails to Curb Harmful Online Content for Children
Children have bluntly told the Children's Commissioner that the UK's Online Safety Act has failed to make a tangible impact on their online lives, with many saying it has made "absolutely no difference" to their exposure to harmful content. Despite being in effect for over a year, the law seems to be falling…

Guardian First Edition this morning telling absolute lies about online age verification procedures in the UK.
None of it is robust.

Time to do a #Custerfuchs about people who have and act on personal narratives which are based around torture & murder of "others" and how the British media and establishment are currently engaging in reinforcing those narratives by projecting them onto "asylum seekers".
In a law court, knowledge that someone has those opinions would be considered evidence of "malice aforethought" or "premeditation".
Disseminating those opinions would be considered incitement and not "legitimate complaints" or "legitimate political discourse".The essay is going to need a clever title.
Something like
"Nigel Farage is planning Genocide"
or something like that.( Hi, Nigel! )

I'm thinking and planning on advocating for the Fediverse a lot more due to the UK Online Safety Act. I think it might be best to write it all down as a part not only some flyers that I can get printed and hand out to many people.
This will come with a page on my company website to showcase and explain further why & how they can join the Fediverse.

CW: UK Online Safety Act
From the looks of it, OfCom and UK Government are allowed to look at not only your social media but your Emails, Text Messages & listen in on your private calls.

I see Discord has started blocking images that it deems NSFW in private conversations, whether they actually are or not. Great job, UK. Finally time to get a VPN subscription 🙄

With the UK Government cracking down on things, I really do want to just leave the few socials I do use for Personal use (not this), it all just needs verification and I've been using them for years.
