This government hates you and is trying to provoke you to do something rash. Don't give them the satisfaction. Don't be rash. Remember what you do reflects on the rest, and could decide the future of the country.
@allmouthand@drhingram The main way is using VPNs. Even Firefox has a built in free VPN at this point. This essentially invalidates anything that the government thinks they can do.
Doesn't mean that parents shouldn't set the boundaries and expect them to be respected.
Yes, but and if you really want to, you can set up your own pfsense firewall and block pretty much anything you want.
1) Most people don't know how to do that.
2) Mobile devices on mobile data bypasses it.
Virign Media, actually have some pretty good tools for content blocking, it is just not on by default, and is not filtered by user.
Schools and colleges also have blocking tools.
In short the technology exists, it doesn't need digital ID, it just needs pulling together.
π¨NEW: Sikh leaders warn: If Britain bans the Kirpan, many will leave and return to their home countries.
They say religious freedoms must be protected.
@Panagiotou90St I reckon her performance on Question Time will launch her into the top 3 in Makerfield elections. Such a pure, sharp, intellectual dissection of supply and demand. Quite unbelievable.

This technology is already on devices. The tech firms just need to switch it on to block children from seeing nude imagery.
There is no reporting, no data collection, no monitoring, and no images leaving the device. All adults will be able to switch off the protections if they are over 18.
This is targeted, proportionate and - most importantly - it protects children from vile abusers.
