Yeah, since it's the UK, I have a hunch that will include scanning your ID and uploading it to 5 different "international parners" aka American companies. To be tied to all online activity... Why not simply mandate parental controls be implemented in all phones and tablets, and we can do it without all the privacy invasion?

Adults will still be able to take, share or view nude content through an age verification process.

OR "Harvesting Users data/IDs via social media isn't working because people just simply stopped using social media...but people can't stop looking at porn! that's where we'll get em!"

fuck off.

Calling Starmer's Government left-wing is ironic considering by most accounts he's proven himself to be slightly progressive Tory in a red tie

I remember watching a video of a North Korean phone, which from memory took a screenshot every 15 seconds or so. Now I read about age verification with nuditity scanning on the OS level being serisously discussed in a supposed free country

This is a left-wing

Oh?

(Labour) government, btw.

Oh.

Neoliberal is not “left wing“.

We cannot possibly let children know what a human body is or looks like !

Oh god you useless fucks. You realize a non nude image is easily made nude with AI now right? The end result is the same, whether its real or not.

In addition, there are more ways to share these than just using computers. You can't possibly police it all.

How about arresting pedophiles starting with those connected to Epstein?

We will do anything except education.

I don't know why isn't it just the parents responsibility. For example where I live, you can get charged with "negligent storage of a firearm". Why can't there just be a "negligent allowing your kid to do whatever they want with no DNS filtering" offense

Labour government not punching themselves in the dick challenge (impossible)

So, they don't have a plan. Their "plan" is threatening the companies to implement their ideas, or else!

The UK ain't far behind the US now is it?

Nooo, it's only me who can look at underage nudes, not the underage people!!

Imagine how scarring it would be to look in a "smart mirror" and have it automatically censor your own body.

This is of course, aside from the million reasons I don't trust the government when they talk about "for the children" …

Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath-water.

This is literally impossible even with ai and a dangerous bill for big tech. While for smaller Fediverse Communities it's much much easier to moderate that type of content since

a. we don't have to rely on a corporation to provide the tools we need.
b. you would only be responsible (I think) for content on your own local feeds. However if you are responsible for federated content appealing as well, might want to federate with servers with some type of user verification (not id verification) but like verifying your use purpose of a server they are joining. and defederate from other servers that are not moderating their local feeds.
