Ofcom has told the Independent newspaper that they intend to work with American police and the courts to recover fines from 4chan.
This is legally illiterate. If they really want to sue us in the United States to recover a foreign censorship penalty, we welcome the fight.
BREAKING:
The European Parliament just passed Chat Control 1.0
A proposal to stop the new law, which will allow big tech companies to voluntarily scan all private messages, needed an absolute majority of 361 voted but received only 314 votes.
As it was the last day before summer recess, many MEPs had returned to their home countries and didn’t take part in the surprise vote. Chat Control 2.0 is still being prepared. That law will make it mandatory to scan people’s private messages.
Even if this doesn't pass where you live, it is still a global problem. The world's governments are taking inspiration from each other with every mass surveillance law they pass.
Make your voices heard. Don't let this happen
The EU is trying to revive 'chat control,' a legislative proposal that allows tech companies to scan your messages, images, and files for illegal content
America’s children and teens deserve to be safe online.
Last week, the House passed the KIDS Act to put real protections in place for children and teens online, empowering parents to make the best decisions for their kids, and holding Big Tech accountable ⬇️
Exactly, anyone who thinks setting up parental controls "takes hours" doesn't know how to use a phone or a computer.
There are step by step guides on how to block any website or app you want on your router, browser, AND your phone. It's not difficult at all
Same guy said in a debate with .@DeepHumor on YouTube last week:
"I haven't given my kid a tablet or a device. never actually like used them. But I will tell you like I mean I've seen demonstrations. I've seen you know Apple and Google send their emails about how it works and I've also seen demonstrations from folks like Melissa Mccay or Common Sense Media showing that it takes hours."
Direct quote from the interview. Melissa is the founder of Digital Childhood Alliance - the Meta-backed coalition to push the App Store Accountability Act.
The biggest pushers of Digital ID have not even attempted to use the App Store parental controls to know how they work...because protecting kids is not actually the goal.
Yeah, because Grok is definitely known as such a reliable source. You claim to want to protect the kids while insulting everyone who disagrees with you like you're in kindergarten
I’ve written and researched more about this issue than you ever will. A simple grok search will tell you. You’re an anon who has such an attachment to porn that with the average age first exposure being 11, you feel no remorse and instead accuse the people who don’t use or want porn. GFY.
Notice how the second you get an alternative to the mass surveillance laws that you are proposing, you immediately resort to personally attacking someone who disagrees with you. You are full of shit
80% of children ages 12–17 have been exposed to pornography on the internet. This is a national crisis hiding in plain sight.
I introduced the SCREEN Act to protect children by requiring age verification for adult websites. It's time to act.
‼️ Discord is testing Incode as a age verification vendor, but Incode's biometric policy allows model training on biometric data, its privacy policy permits retention for up to three years, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation has already faulted its TikTok setup for not auto-deleting user data.
Discord says the selfie check runs on-device and that IDs sent to Incode are deleted once your age is confirmed. But Incode's own policy allows for longer retention if consented by the individual.
After roughly 70,000 Discord users had government ID photos exposed through a breached third-party support firm last October (see the heavily redacted photo we posted back then), users should be sceptical about Discord's choice.
Shockingly, a lot of Americans believe that mass surveillance laws aren’t passing here. Well, here you go lol
This decision proves that ANY country passing ID age verification laws is a problem for the entire world
Another Bluesky user was asked to supply their SSN to access the platform. Here’s his post and a screengrab of the age verification site he shared — many users are threatening to leave Bluesky if the age verification system becomes more widespread
This just doesn’t sound right. 70% of people are in favor of mass surveillance and the harvesting of biometric data??
Either that sample size is unreliable or the people being polled don’t understand how dangerous ID age verification is
Two-thirds of the public (69 per cent) say they are in favour of a law requiring social media companies to use age-verification tools to ban children under the age of 16 from social media, according to a poll by Ipsos.
However, support for the Australian-style social media ban falls to just half of the public if it means everyone in the UK is required to upload either an ID or credit card to the tech firms to verify their age ⤵️
