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.

The UK slams the ‘insulting’ X move to paywall a deepfake tool.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer attacked X’s decision to make its controversial AI image generation feature only available to users with paid subscriptions.
The prime minister said far from solving the problem of non-consensual deepfakes, X’s decision turned the issue into a “premium service”.

Open Rights Group: “Tell your MP to attend the debate on the Online Safety Act”
The Online Safety Act […] has enabled a wave of questionable age-assurance providers, restricted free expression by wrongly censoring lawful content, and made it harder for communities to run their own small websites … Parliament will debate this critical issue on 15th of December 2025. It’s time to make them understand what is at stake … Write to your MP to tell them to attend the debate and why it is important for you. It’s time to speak up before it’s too late!

Online Safety Act consultation : Threat to protest and political content | Open Rights Group
The proposals would mean that:
Lawful activism could be censored as it happens.
Political content about Palestine may auto-delete from your feeds.
The police can clampdown on protest online.
Open Rights Group is urging everyone who cares about democracy and our right to protest to respond to this consultation.

James Baker of @OpenRightsGroup: son is using East Anglia fishing videos to circumvent Google’s AI age verification profiling
The kids are alright, it’s the politicians who are a mess:
Chatting to son: “…so do you think your youtube account will pass AI age verification?”
His reply: “I think I’m safe with all the Hearts of Iron 4 guides, but I’m going to watch a six hour video of the best fishing spots in East Anglia to make sure”

The Facial-Recognition Sham | The Atlantic
Losing anonymous internet access means giving companies and government agencies more power than ever to track our activities online. It means transforming the American conception of the open internet into something reminiscent of the centralized tracking systems we’ve long opposed in China and similar countries. At this moment, the prospect of an internet linked to our real identity has never felt so threatening.

A Technology Minister who lets Chat GPT do his thinking and calls us all 'paedos' when we disagree with his poorly thought out new law.
And now a Homelessness Minister taking her title too literally...what the fuck is the point of this Labour Party to us Voters?
And where is the PM, holding another rich peado's hand somewhere is he? The Quisling fuck...#UKPOL #UKPOLITICS #RushanaraAli #PeterKyle #Homelessness #Poverty #Technology #OnlineSafetyAct
