from #OpenRightsGroup:
Far-reaching powers over Internet access are being rushed through.
Last minute amendments have been shoved into the UK Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
Ministers will be able to force anyone over 13 to use unsafe and unregulated age-ID services to access whatever content the government wants.

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 #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?

Michelle Donelan, MP (with the Home Office in addition to DSIT) "said further work to develop the technology was needed but added that government-funded research had shown it was possible. This, incidentally is entirely untrue: their researchers were at pains to explain that the technology is unfit for purpose:"

#canada wants to impose 1980s-style “Canadian content” rules on YouTube, TikTok and Netflix. This is not smart, and will actually disadvantage Canadian content creators.

@neil yes, I agree poor choice of words. Maybe "support the coalition against the bill by donating to the charities working to get it stopped"?
I only heard about it a couple of days ago from you. So I am not sure how bad it is. But I generally respect #openrightsgroup https://www.openrightsgroup.org/campaign/stop-state-censorship-of-online-speech/ -
@neil what do you think of the work that #openrightsgroup and others are doing to stop the #OnlineSafetyBill as part of the coalition
