  6. 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.

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

  26. The EU Digital Services Act vs the UK Online Safety Act: Implications for Privacy and Free Speech

    As governments race to regulate the internet, the EU’s Digital Services Act and the UK’s Online Safety Act are reshaping how platforms moderate content, protect users, and handle personal data. Framed as efforts to make the web safer, these sweeping laws come with powerful enforcement tools and lofty promises. But beneath the surface lies a deeper tension: between safety and surveillance, moderation and censorship, responsibility and overreach. This post dives into the laws’ origins, what they mean for privacy and free expression, and why critics warn they could quietly undermine the very freedoms they claim to defend.

  27. "On 8 May, 2025, the @wikimediafoundation, the nonprofit that hosts @wikipedia, announced that it is challenging the lawfulness of the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA)’s Categorisation Regulations. We are arguing that they place Wikipedia and its users at unacceptable risk of being subjected to the OSA’s toughest “Category 1” duties, which were originally designed to target some of the UK’s riskiest websites."
