Dr Monica Horten. Independent policy advisor. 12+ yrs tech/IP policy. Platforms, content, human rights. Online Safety Bill. Not afraid to ask awkward qus.

@lilianedwards @BertuzLuca Tx. In my view, it is drafted to give them a lot of wriggle room, unsurprisingly. It would be nice to think they would make a serious attempt at AI policy, harking back to Harold Wilson's white heat of technology, but the undertones of online safety language are worrying.

@JoeBambridge1 Sadly the SNP amendment was never going to be adopted. But there is a different story at play here.

@guy_herbert @SpearofRoute4 @Cyberleagle There's more than one human rights issue in this consultation. What I object to is turning it into a wedge issue, instead of constructive debate.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@Cyberleagle @guy_herbert Indeed, I was referring to the lobbying. It has the hallmarks of a well-orchestrated campaign. But it's also true the taxpayers are paying for the consultation exercise...and regulatory implementation.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@hutko Thank you. A great intervention. Should be required reading for anyone following the #e2ee debate.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@Loingirder Which is exactly what happened (in the 16th century).

"We rely on political leaders to take action to end violence against women and girls, and the misogyny that underpins it. It is vital that spiking survivors see ministers treating the subject seriously and not downplaying the reality so many women face."

The European Parliament's political agreement for online child safety measures without survellance has today been formally adopted. A very good balance that aims to provide a way around the deadlock. #e2ee @EP_Justice My post here: https://t.co/5BGslfD69V

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

So you spend Christmas doing a response to the @SciTechgovuk #OnlineSafetyAct consultation or you won't get a say in how it's implemented. Deadline 11 January 2024. https://t.co/KdRLXXWA9O

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@RussBeeby @EP_Justice Can now confirm a requirement for mandatory age verification for app stores was deleted. It's all in multiple documents and a bit messy, so I had been relying on other sources, which I would not do usually.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

Pragmatic child safety measures, without #surveillance. European Parliament @EP_Justice adopts revised proposal on #CSAR. #e2ee encrypted services out of scope. Targeted measures only with "reasonable suspicion". No mandatory age verification. https://t.co/5BGslfD69V

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@RussBeeby @EP_Justice It is not mandatory for app stores and private messaging services. I 'll see if I can correct that.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@RussBeeby @EP_Justice Other information suggests no mandatory age verification for users of communication services. This needs some clarification - will look into it.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@denisersalmeida @WebDevLaw A pleasure! I will post updates as and when.

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

@denisersalmeida @WebDevLaw Fwiw here's my take. Good luck to anyone who is not already familiar with it. https://t.co/A9juPwr2uh

[Iptegrity @Iptegrity]

This week the UK regulator Ofcom issued guidelines for providers on the #OnlineSafetyAct. All 1700 pages of it. Good luck to anyone who is not already familiar with the Act. Here's my take on it: https://t.co/A9juPwr2uh

Interesting to see the #lobbying at play around EU proposals for screening messages on encrypted chat services #e2ee #Chatcontrol #OnlineSafetyAct @signalapp @WhatsApp @element_hq

[Patrick Breyer #JoinMastodon @echo_pbreyer]

🇬🇧EU ombudswoman on #chatcontrol: EU Commission must not hide a list of experts whose group helped undermine secure #E2EE encryption. https://t.co/5nPlHdMUx7

Here's the secret list - lots of tech, lots of law enforcement, hardly any EU experts: https://t.co/mVOEsNkIEp
