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.

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'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…

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.

Don’t take away our freedom to play games when we want | 38 Degrees
Gamer’s Voice; and absolutely nobody is talking about “teaching our kids to laugh at, and circumvent, authority”. Quote:
If ministers use these powers, it could mean: Young people locked out of games like Fortnite, Minecraft, League of Legends or Counter-Strike after set times such as 9pm; Families losing the ability to decide for themselves how and when to relax together; Adults being forced to hand over sensitive personal data just to play games

Suicide of the West: How Western Culture is Being Eroded

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

Taylor Lorenz & Eric Goldman: age verification will kill free speech online | …from June 2025, so it’s not like any of this was a surprise
If you’re an age verification nerd and you are not reading Eric Goldman’s blog then you ought to be, but it’s nice to see him in a video for once:

Sadat netin keskustelualueet valmistautuvat sulkemaan ovensa maaliskuussa.
Taustalla on Britannian sinänsä hyvää tarkoittava, mutta kohtuullisuuden unohtava uusi Online Safety Act -laki. Laki on tarkoitettu ohjaamaan jättimäisten palveluiden, kuten Facebookin, toimintoja mm. lapsiin kohdistuneiden väärinkäytösten kitkemiseksi.
Mutta laki pistää tavalliset, yhden ihmisen pyörittämät foorumit samalle viivalle vaikkapa Facebookin kanssa ja vaatii samoja teknisiä ratkaisuja, raportointivelvollisuutta ja vastuutta myös niiltä.
Joten mm. maan tunnetuin pyöräilyfoorumi on päättänyt sulkea ovensa, kun toiminnasta tulee käytännössä mahdotonta.
