Will call out misleading 'facts' on both sides

@bitmaelstrom Google family is the standard parental controls for Android. It's baked in and requires permission to install any apps. Unless of course I turn that off, but then I'm not an idiot.

[mike @drifter104]

@A1an_M Google standard parental controls would require you to permit the app to be downloaded.
Unless of course 1 or 2 things are true.
1. This never happened.
2. You've confused content filters and parental controls.

[mike @drifter104]

@UnmuteToken @signalapp IOS and Android have had scanning within certain apps for ages.

[mike @drifter104]

@YardleyShooting You mean like the databae of births, deaths and marriages?

[mike @drifter104]

Just another one
It's amazing how many reach for the fail button
@omnisheva

[mike @drifter104]

@omnisheva @SimonHarrisMBD Oh now I understand.... you think that policy is the same as practically.
IOS and Android have significant safe guards to prevent apps interacting exactly how you think this will work.
There will be no 3rd party app, it will be done within the app, just like it already is

[mike @drifter104]

@adamemedia1 You must give your government issued ID to the government.

[mike @drifter104]

@omnisheva @SimonHarrisMBD There is so much wrong information those 2 little sentences.
It doesn't violate anyone's privacy. It's social media, you aren't forced to use it. If it was something the HMRC app and everyone was forced to have it, that would be different.

@omnisheva @SimonHarrisMBD For someone that is implying they have some technical knowledge you don't know much.
He is telling social media companies and tech companies to deal with the content within their domains. Not outside it.
Google and Apple actually already do this to some degree.

@HeadWarriorTWM @ItsWelford @Artemisfornow All images are "turned into" a hash (big long row of numbers and letters).
Every image before being sent goes through the same process.
If the hash matches an illegal one it is blocked.

[mike @drifter104]

@Storm80666 @markstretch None of the assumptions are aimed at him, if anything they are aimed at his parents. Perhaps the lack of education starts higher up his family tree

[mike @drifter104]

@SophyRidgeSky Google already do this on the messaging app. It scans all media sent over the messaging app on child accounts.
The problem is encryption, you either have to scan media once delivered or break the end to end encryption.

[mike @drifter104]

@callernumber12 @SophyRidgeSky VPN - clearly you have no technical background.

[mike @drifter104]

@Storm80666 @markstretch If he doesn't understand why this was changed I'd suggest you change his school. Clearly they aren't educating him very well.

[mike @drifter104]

@David90shaw They enforce a porn limit, are you suggesting only people with passports can watch porn on those sites?

[mike @drifter104]

@Storm80666 @markstretch I'm sure his 0.000000000001% will be missed.

[mike @drifter104]

@abritishparent @markstretch So they removed the exemption on private schools, or narrowed the definition or said it only applies to public. Regardless of the exact mechanism, the exemption no longer applies to private schools.
As I gave in comparison, the tax is still there.

[mike @drifter104]

@sneezy_joe @RobertJudd4 They did check, he told them he was stabbed in the face.

[mike @drifter104]

@TiceRichard You are cherry picking data. It's like look at road traffic accident injuries and saying, well they went up therefore seatbelts don't work. Ignoring the fact fatal injuries went down.

[mike @drifter104]

@TiceRichard Lets just take hurricane graph.
You're using a none 0 base to exaggerate the yearly difference. It's a difference of aprox 13 hurricanes per year between min count and max.
If however you break it down by hurricane rating.
Very different picture.
