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.

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.

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.

My #LinkedIn is awash with people commenting about their dilemma of using #elonmusk's #hellsite, as if, AS IF they'd only just woken up to his #fascist agenda? I mean, what about the 2 MILLION OF US who migrated here in 2022 very much because WE KNEW? Anyone remembers the hashtag #twitterrefugees?
I suspect it is the threat of legal action with the #OnlineSafetyAct that finally got them to move their heads out of their arses. If only they wouldn't sing the praises of #Threads & #Bluesky...🤔
