"If it’s there to protect minors from the ever increasing offenders out there I can’t see a problem can you ? " Because they can't be trusted. The technology will be abused and widened to look for anything they dont approve of. We would be in a Big Brother situation. | |||

"Big brother tactics. The uk will be like China in 5 years watching and listening." It already watches and listens.. Cctv, doorbell cameras, ANPR, facial recognition. And I'm sure youve noticed that you can have a conversation about something and 10 mins later an add on Google will show what you were talking about. | |||

"This act is part of the dictatorship that Starmer and his front bench have shown themselves to be. We need software apparently (which is wide open to be used to abuse the populations freedoms) but news about the PM's car being torched is subdued. They treat us like idiots and need to be overthrown." News about the arson attack on Starmer subdued? Well just to update you, here's just one of the reports published in the previous week... BBC News - Two men jailed over Starmer-linked arson attacks - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgmdjpmmng7o?app-referrer=deep-link | |||

"If it’s there to protect minors from the ever increasing offenders out there I can’t see a problem can you ? " Let their parents police the kids on line activities, sick of these piss poor parents getting sympathy , action groups , petitions and law changing because they allowed young Jenny/ Jonny free unfettered access to the internet with sometimes tragic results that then mean normal well adjusted citizens have their freedoms and access restricted or monitored | |||

"I've not heard of this until today... The UK government has issued a three-month ultimatum to Apple and Google (with a September deadline) to activate or install built-in software to automatically detect and block explicit images on devices.However, the intention of this software differs slightly from general scanning:Target: The mandate is focused specifically on preventing the sharing, receiving, or taking of explicit images (such as "nudes" and "sexts") on devices used by children (under 18s).The Government Stance: Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Home Office argue that the required scanning technology is already built into modern smartphones. Officials state the goal is not to police people's phones or collect data, but to "switch on" these safeguards to protect minors from online abuse and coercion.Ultimatum: If Apple and Google do not comply by September, the government has threatened to pass emergency laws forcing them to do so, backed by catastrophic fines and potential criminal liability for tech executives.Privacy Backlash: Privacy campaigners and civil liberties groups (such as Big Brother Watch and Signal) have strongly condemned the proposal. Critics warn this creates an "invisible surveillance infrastructure" and fear it could compromise encryption, undermine anonymity, and potentially pave the way for invasive age-verification checks for all adults." It's all being done under the guise of protecting children. If they really wanted to protect children they'd go after the high society peadophile rings, the predominantly Pakistani grooming gangs and peadophiles in general. None of which they care about. They are into having total control simple as that. | |||

"It was on telly the other night. Of course you can still have XXX images on your phone. " Age verification will be required to access even your own images, that means uploading formal ID, driving licence etc. or having facial recognition decide if you are a suitable age. | |||

"Facial recognition works on datum points around your face, i.e. shapes and sizes and so on: facial hair has no bearing in this. Masks have been thought of as the software requires movement (mouth open and close for example) Whichever way this is considered it is a heinous breach of privacy; possibly with good intentions but certainly with a deeper agenda. | |||

"If it’s there to protect minors from the ever increasing offenders out there I can’t see a problem can you ? " You could lock down phones, for adults and minors. Anyone supplying an 18Plus phone for under 18 is due a fine similar mechanism to someone supplying alcohol to under 18. Age and Id is at point of purchase Or resale. That massively limits the surveillance risks. And it's cheap. And it might actually work. A d it gives power to protect back to the parents and guardians rather than the stat | |||

"My mobile has a tin foil case. I'm safe." A Farraday Gage will also prohibit the RF link to the comms cell node, rendering it useless as a phone! The government needs to enforce the RF licence conditions on device useage, especially for juveniles, and force manufactuers to make child friendly mob phones incaperble of accessing adult content! Of course, if they can scan everyones phone the security people will be in heaven as a citizen privacy will effectively come to an end. The use of black market burner phones will soar! What a freaking mess!  | |||

"Children must be protected and keeping standards of decency, and the law should back that up. If on-device technology can stop children being coerced into sending nudes, switch it on for child accounts. But it has to stay within the law: proper legislation, clear limits, court oversight, and no breaking encryption for adults accessing legal content. Protect children without normalising blanket scanning. Parliament should debate it openly, not by ultimatum." Exactly how it should be... Children should never have been allowed access to adult content from the offset! Who in the right mind would allow a child to have access to an unsupervised firearm! Same princible! Legislators missing at the wheel again and thirty years plus of damage already done to our children! These new blanket, security scanning laws, in the quize of child safety will be enacted instead. Digital/Ai technology making prisoners of us all; we are fecked! | |||

Whilst much online stuff cannot be avoided…booking tickets, government websites etc, it would serve us all to remember that a phone/computer etc is only a tool, we operate it, it can be turned off, settings can be altered, if you allow the tool to rule then so be it, but there is an off button, notifications can be turned off, leave it at home etc etc. | |||

"All this ranting right wing conspiracy crap" It's the one bit the right wing nutters get right. You can be a flag shagger moron and still be justified in some of your paranoia. Where it comes to online rights and personal privacy the conspiracy nuts are spot on. What black rock and vanguard and Palantir and Thiel and Orr have in mind, and how they are doing it, you couldn't make it up. | |||
