    New powers would let Ministers pick and choose what should be restricted, as well as impose curfews on access.

    All without having to prove sites are harmful for children.

    They don’t just cover social media, but all 'Internet services’ – blogs, websites, online games and more.

    This is overreach.

    All adults would have to do a digital ID check to establish their age with third-parties so they can access any service.

    If you don't, you could face blocks or time restricted curfews.

    These powers could be used by any government in the UK to restrict access to almost any online service you could imagine.

      This is no longer about banning under-16s from social media.

      It’s about control over all information and forcing adults to go through digital ID checks to access the Internet.

      Forcing us to submit our identity or biometric data to an array of different providers poses significant privacy risks.

          @openrightsgroup all isps are directly linked to a legal identity or entity.

          This is redundant.

            @openrightsgroup We have already seen the various age verification companies being seriously compromised. As predicted. And bogus age checks on sites to collect data, as predicted.

                @openrightsgroup this kind of stuff happened in [you guess which country] 20 years ago. Initially for games. no pushback. even largely welcomed. Expanded to social media and chat apps around 10 years ago. Some complaints, no pushback. Now you get police knocking at your door if you post or just chat certain things online. still basically no pushback. People just accept it. The amount of people willing to just take whatever shit is saddening.

                  @openrightsgroup once a generation grows up with mass surveillance as part of their life, they normalize it and they defend the surveillance. But before us old folks die out. We try as much as we can.

                    @openrightsgroup It's also about making a barrier to entry for new providers that (mostly Amerikaanse) BigTech have already cleared, thus allowing them to corner the market. #fuckBigTech

                      @openrightsgroup exactly what i said they would do.

                      Protect the children is always the excuse to destroy privacy.
                      they actually don't care at all about children, for proof their representative in the US was a pedophile.

                        @anomalocarididae @openrightsgroup and now the state of California has decided to start down this road with their requirements of operating systems to have an age attestation mechanism touching every conceivable piece of software.

                        Imagine this, I need to search the Apt repository for dumb-app, but I need to verify my age! So, curl, ls, less, more, wc plus thousands of little binaries in a Unix like system.

                        Governor Newsom is trash.

                                  @openrightsgroup So I can email my MP yet again on this particular topic and if they even bother to reply it will be saying they are 100% in favour of MORE control of the Internet, as they have before and as did their predecessor, both Labour Party, for all it matters. They toe the party line and are not moved by what their constituents say (with exceptions, I guess).

                                    @anomalocarididae @openrightsgroup and now the state of California has decided to start down this road with their requirements of operating systems to have an age attestation mechanism touching every conceivable piece of software.

                                    Imagine this, I need to search the Apt repository for dumb-app, but I need to verify my age! So, curl, ls, less, more, wc plus thousands of little binaries in a Unix like system.

                                    Governor Newsom is trash.

                                    @csgraves @anomalocarididae @openrightsgroup assuming they don't just deadass make ""sideloading"" illegal, i wouldn't be surprised if software compilations and software distribution sets & offline/local-community repositories become more of a thing over time again

                                        What about Epstein networks with all the information in clear available and people identified which would deserve more scrutiny and effort?

                                        Show us how real you are about protecting children.

                                          @openrightsgroup I think this is social media‘s backlash against being held accountable for the devastating effect. Social media has on young people and it actually has a bad effect on adults too. But they pretend it’s about caring about children. That’s what sickens me. How they do everything but solve the problem.
