So the UK ID Scraping Act...sorry Social Media Ban is laid out
After a consultation of 116K people (0 privacy and digital safety experts BTW) all 68 million of us must suffer handing our private info to any random company if we wish to watch youtube, -
youtube.com/watch?v=4hC6cr3l…
use communication features in games, play past 00:00 (good luck if you have a late hours job I guess and want to play with international friends...), have a basic barrier of anonymity online as a safety measure (even for perfectly innocent reasons like stopping identity theft) -
I'm really starting to get sick and tired of being hated simply for being English
I haven't done anything to anybody, I haven't hurt anybody, I don't hate anybody truly, yet I must apparently also self flagellate myself for simply existing at the whim of everyone else
Okay so my first World Cup post and it's to say this;
If Norway were playing literally ANY OTHER TEAM the "wire controversy" wouldn't exist and they'd say "just play on it's not worth worrying about"
But England gets the usual hate, as always
To anyone and everyone finding out about the UK govt's plans for altering youtube's algorithm to enforce state propaganda....we warned you
We warned you at the onset of the Online Safety Act.
We warned you when they announced their Social Media Ban plans.
We keep warning you
So if parental controls are the best form of protection, so much so that the UK govt are advising parents how to use them and making ISP companies ensure it's visible/usable...why are they continuing with the data collecting age verification increase?!

This translates to: "I feel very comfortable about this invasion of my privacy because of the current political climate."
The definition of 'hate speech' can change from one government to the next.
Translation: We are making every adult verify themselves to use social media
Plus it goes without saying that "returning kids childhoods" while doing nothing to support kid friendly spaces in the real world is insane
You'll do a Digital ID via a backdoor mission creep
Scumbag
We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:

The more we hear about the @UKLabour govt's Social Media Ban, the more it sounds like a totalitarian state, encircling a net on freedom to sound like they're shielding kids...while doing nothing to actually protect kids
Tomorrow the noose tightens 1/2
And this will only give the UKgovt more justification in their eyes to do MORE AUTHORITARIAN bullshit
They'd rather sell every UK citizen's identity to Palantir/Persona before admitting they made a mistake
They are maliciously, ridiculously, incompetent nanny-state authoritarians
A new report shows many children in the UK are drawing fake moustaches with makeup or pencils to bypass age checks on social media and apps.
This simple trick fools the face scan tools that check if users are old enough.
One parent caught her 12-year-old son using an eyebrow pencil, which made the system think he was 15, and about one in three children say they get around the rules this way.
Welcome to Authoritarian Britain
The concept of being scanned into a database to make sure you're not a criminal because you just walked down the street is INSANE!
If ANY UK resident claims we're living in a free society I have a bridge to sell them!
All of London is a prison now
While I don't think it'll work, they'll use it as justification for why they want to keep the OSA, I do think this has a chance to start a debate on undoing age verification
So if you're in the UK, sign it!

So the @UKLabour party are now trying to change the law so Liz Kendall herself, with no oversight or control, can dictate what websites or online services are available in the UK under the guise of "protecting kids", yet without Ofcom's regulation

and tomorrow it's services like What'sApp because they don't allow the UK govt to bread end-to-end Encryption to spy on our private messages.
The UK is rapidly becoming an authoritarian state for the guise of "protection" by erasing freedom.
Laying the ground work for actual 3??
Hear that @bioware ?
People are DESPERATE for more Mass Effect, please give us SOMETHING on N7 day this year!
Give us more of that good ME stuff, and don't Veilguard it by making it feel too contemporary in the setting.
