They will now be known as Sir Peter Lord and Sir David Sproxton.

I’m actually a child online safety expert and was one of the pioneers in this space with Club Penguin and so I feel uniquely positioned to critique this.

The groomer problem is real but it’s also vastly overstated. The far larger issue we saw at Penguin was suicidality or reports of sexual abuse in the home.

There is no solution for lazy/bad parenting. You can implement all the ID laws you want but if parents are going to just hand kids their phones unlocked, those kids will have access to all the same things the parents have unfettered.

What I found is that these draconian safety laws actually make it harder to be an honest operator of kids apps because on one hand it’s so much legal risk and so much user friction that it simply becomes uninvestible as a business.

Parents will just lie to let their kids use the unfettered internet. For example, I have a friend who works in mobile gaming who has two kids, one above and one below the age limit but separated by just 2 yrs, and the two wanted to play and chat together on Roblox - which is reasonable. To do this, he just verified that his younger kid is old enough for the chat feature when he’s not.

This happens all the time and will happen with these laws to. How far do we want to go with this? Scan the face of the user in real-time to make sure it’s not a kid using the device? We could do that but it feels like a massive unwanted intrusion of privacy.

That’s how you know this law isn’t about kids. COPPA and GDPR-K and so forth already make it illegal to allow chat and other grooming vectors to kids.

What’s really being done here is trying to eliminate online anonymity. And this is a far bigger issue that goes to core speech rights because if you cannot criticize the govt anonymously and if wrong speech is a crime then it becomes easy to identify all the detractors of the govt in power, and ban, fine or jail them for speech crimes.

Starmer has already been doing this and he wants to do it at a much bigger scale. Starmer won’t even acknowledge the problem of actual grooming gangs in Britain’s neighborhoods but he’s worried about online grooming?

No he’s not, and this hypocrisy gives away the game. What he wants is to kill online anonymity so he can enforce censorship of his unpopular policies. No politician should have this power.

This is a clear sign that Epic handles Fortnite with a quantity over quality mindset, and I’m afraid that artists who get inspired by this will gradually stop improving and will merely know the difference between good and bad art the same way a non-artist does

[Vicente ⟢ @ssxftserve]

Generative ai has no business being used in anything, regardless if it’s used to tune/fix mistakes. Artists at Epic are given the option to not use it, so I find it extremely disappointing that previous bp styles were created from it

[kitsu @kitsucore]

I'll keep this short and sweet:
Given today's unveiling of Epic's use of GenAI tools, I've made the decision to permanently cancel all of my UEFN maps and depart entirely from the Fortnite content creation scene.

Thanks for ruining everything Epic.

There's a quote from RTD where he expressed that he's still baffled Moffat gave the idea of the angels over to doctor who rather than taking it to Hollywood and being set for life from the franchise rights

@archer_fortnite Wouldn't it just put the overflow player count into a new lobby?

[archer | Fortnite: Save the World @archer_fortnite]

ok idk if i can host a custom for the unvaulting event in og, they just hard capped the player count for all og modes to 32 players 😭

[John Carter @martianwyrdlord]

Call their bluff.

Close all local UK operations, so that no employees or corporate officers can be arrested.

Refuse to comply, and dare them to geoblock. Without Google and Apple, the UK economy would probably collapse. It isn't so much that those services are crucial (although they are), it's that Britain is already on the fiscal brink and all it would really take is a little push.

I'm sure blocking the Internet would go over really well with the British people, too.

[Maven Politic @MavenPolitic]

If you want to keep your children off of social media, it's quite simple.

- Don't give them a smartphone.
- Implement parental controls on your router at home (they work).

And that's it.

Government action only makes it less likely for parents to take responsibility.
