@AlisonCreekside Westminster is unable to protect Britain from the onslaught of CSAM over Twitter, but it can momentarily inconvenience adults wanting to see adults do consensual adult things to each other.

"we'll fine the World's Richest Man, that'll make him stop with the CSAM"
Except UKGOV won't even do that, they'll send a strongly worded letter to GrokAI, get a shit emoji in response and call it a day.

NO TO ID VERIFICATION
Everyone, protest against ID verification and digital ID laws.
I also drew Mikleo as he wouldn't be happy with it

Has Britain Gone Too Far With Its Digital Controls? | The New York Times
Yes. And the Tony Blair institute is a lot of the problem.
“There’s a big philosophical debate going on here,” said Ryan Wain, the executive director of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a London group started by the former prime minister that supports the government’s policies. “There’s a big question about what is freedom and what is safety.”

Are #Mastodon / #FediVerse going to ban everything erotic and sexual (as westerners love to call NSFW) ... They gonna follow the bigoted UK laws and go full taliban :ms_exclamation_question: I hope not because it would be such a shame. Especially for the people who knows that this so called Online Safety Act has NOTHING to do with kinds in the first place. Never did, never will.
That Epstein list must be really long though.

Hi folks operating Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, etc.
This has probably already been asked, but what are devs and instance admins doing (if anything at all) to comply with the Online Safety Act age verification requirements? Assuming it even applies to the Fedi, especially in well-moderated instances with no pornography or anything else on the naughty list.

I live in the expensive, authoritarian hellhole that is the UK, so when I tried to seelol funnymeme on BlueSky I was asked to prove my age.
As I trust the platform somewhat, I let them check my debit card.
Didn't work. Had the same bank account for 20+ years. Not a great start, lads. #OnlineSafetyBill -

Remember everyone, when your grand-kids are using secret encrypted communications technology that you can't understand or read or control, it'll be because you banned them from the simple easy internet and left them no choice.

The #OpenRightsGroup have launched a petition to protect small sites in the #UK from the #OnlineSafety legislation.
https://action.openrightsgroup.org/save-our-sites-write-your-mp
I am wondering what people think.
These laws were a cross-national coordinated effort: UK, USA, EU had them happening at the same time. As I understand it, EU and USA both had groups like @Chatgeheimnis work hard and it did not pass. UK was silent?
What is the state of the issue? What are admins thinking?

With the #OnlineSafetyAct coming into force in the next two weeks, I'd like to share the assessments that we made for phpc.social, as well as the changes to our policy.
We believe that this is sufficient to comply with the Act at this moment.
This is not legal advice.

On the radio as I wake they're telling me the government is constantly reviewing the #OnlineSafetyBill which sounds like good news since it's terrible onerous uworkable and likely to create walls blocking Britain from the internet.
But they're talking about strengthening it, making it even more onerous and unworkable and so everyone even more likely to just cut the connections to the UK.
Of course 😔

@networkstring @neil Right, that leaves the small reputable operators (like myself) in a bind… hence this letter to my MP: https://derickrethans.nl/online-safety-act.html
-
@TheVampireFishQueen @openrightsgroup @JamesBaker Agreed (and we make this point in the blog). #Ofcom have limited flexibility under the #onlinesafetybill but need to do as much as they can as damage limitation
-
People acting like the UK Online Safety bill accidentally causes the shutdown of small independent forums, rather than that being the entire point of it: To ensure the only hosts allowed are corporations with legal departments who will censor and spy as required by government (and are likely already doing both for their own reasons anyway).
Okay, sure. They were told over and over again, but it's an accident, they didn't mean to.
Sure.

The Senate has passed the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act (also known as COPPA 2.0), the first major internet bills focused on protecting children online to reach that milestone in two decades.
However, the bills haven’t been without their opposition, with concerns from some groups that they could actually harm marginalized kids and limit free expression online. @theverge has more on the bills, and the next steps to making them law.

The conversation with @josh and @matthew about @matrix on @FLOSS_Weekly was fascinating and for once I would have enjoyed more than an hour. Matthew's frustration with trying to explain to legislators why #ChatControl and #OnlineSafetyBill are so misguided was especially striking - I do hope @EUCommission listen.
