Wild that the person who did so much to derail and delay *her own government* from passing the #onlinesafetybill back in 2022, adding a further year's delay before it became law, is now accusing the current government of "dragging its heels" on children's #onlinesafety.

"we'll fine the World's Richest Man, that'll make him stop with the CSAM"

Except UKGOV won't even do that, they'll send a strongly worded letter to GrokAI, get a shit emoji in response and call it a day.

Aye......... UKGov announcements plastered over an in image of a 14 year old without her kit on...... Sounds like the most appropriate way....... 🙄 #OnlineSafetyBill anyone? #Safeguarding 🤔If they won't do the right thing boycott them FFS!!!!

The UK website Exodus is coming.
Growing regulation and compliance pressure are pushing independent sites to leave the UK entirely.

When running a website becomes a legal risk, people move.

Is anyone working on the Online Safety Act and specifically impacts on social media? I'd like to run a class on it this autumn semester for my third year undergraduates. Any resources/ideas/people happy to speak etc. greatly appreciated! #OnlineSafetyAct #SocialMedia #OnlineSafetyBill

If the government wants to lower crime and show it’s not got authoritarian tendencies which the #OnlineSafetyBill makes people feel we should legalise #cannabis use. It’s not like it’s as harmful as Alcohol which causes a lot of crime and health issues. Plus it’s normal in the #USA and #Canada

Asmongold & HeroHei on the #OnlineSafetyBill and #UnitedNations, its not #ProtectingChildren .. as I stated its a #Panic to perform mass #censorship on the #Internet to stop #FreedomOfSpeech to protect themselves

Could have chosen any other moment in time to do this 🤷‍♂️

Critics of the #OnlineSafetyBill. This was brought in by Theresa May not #Labour

Yes they could have blocked it, but they continued. It’s flawed and we need special phone modes for Children at Andriod and IOS level. Not this mess, but it gives the government time to realise how to do this properly.

Looking for used magazines in the bushes. This mug pops out asking for I.D. No where is safe from you Kier is it!?... #vtuber #onlinesafetybill #KierStarmer #uk #gamer #onlinesafety #politics #joke #90s #anime

Keir Starmer’s government used its new Online Safety Bill to suppress a video showing Brits how to register to join Jeremy Corbyn’s new political party.

Online safety my ass.

Loudmouth US Congressman and village idiot in residence #JimJordan is spouting bullshit again.
Apparently he's unhappy about the UK's new #OnlineSafetyBill. Well Jimbo, this legislation may not be perfect but it is UK legislation, therefor naff all to do with The US Congress or Senate. So, go away!

Is my interpretation correct that @bsky.app is now requiring me to do age verification (as a user in Belgium/EU) because of the new #OnlineSafetyBill in the UK?

Quite an odd situation.

Not sure why proving you are over 18 #OnlineSafetyBill is such a big deal. We have to prove we are over 18 for lots of things! I don't see it as #censorship
