response from Peter Kyle about the impact of Online Safety Act on small websites/forums is... well, admitting the obvious: they didn't plan it at all and "deal with this yourselves". https://b2fxxx.blogspot.com/2025/04/response-from-government-over-concerns.html
completely irresponsible and short-sighted. for more perfect image he should've asked "what is this Fediverse"

Now that the Easter holidays are over, I'm getting back to some of my writing work - and, of course, to figuring out the implications of the new age verification rules. #osa #ageverification
"Peter Kyle said he is “watching very carefully” TikTok’s move to limit usage of its app for users under 16 after 10pm, and examining tools parents could use to switch off access at set times." - ffs those people can't be serious https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tiktok-social-media-curfew-law-children-labour-b2738494.html
I also wonder how are they going to implement this for decentralised platforms, including Bluesky - where majority of Labour MPs flocked to?

What is going on inside the #UK?
Am i understanding correctly, that they want to make everything postet on the internet free to grab for AI companies, while making #OSA laws that make all data hostet in the UK open to sniffing around, practically erasing privacy, in order to prevent Children to see a naked arse somewhere and UK citizens to see adult content in the www?
Tell me my non native speaker ass got that wrong and censorship is not up on that level already😨
こんな制度が作られていることをどれだけの人が知っているだろうか。
国会にもはからずに作られた。
今年度は80億円の武器や施設のために無償で他国に支援できるという。
決して今まで認められなかったことがやられている。
フィリピン、インドネシアなどに監視レーダーや警備挺が無償で供与されているという。
国民には四の五の言いながらまともな支給などしようとしないポンコツたちが、武器で稼ぐ算段だ。
そしてそれはいずれ戦争へと進んでいくだろう。危険だ。

“Recognise the UK’s open markets as a competitive advantage. We need to protect — not give away cheaply — prize assets such as our world-beating creative sector and #copyright laws that underpin them, our innovative tech sector and differentiated digital competition regime that strengthens it, and our new approach to protecting people’s safety online.” #DMCCA #OSA
This is a long, heartfelt and important post from @girlonthenet which you should absolutely read if you care about freedom of expression, especially as it relates to sexuality. The only part I would argue with is when she says the accompanying photo is not very good. It’s an awesome shot of a great looking arse in an amazing location. #OSA #FreeSpeech #censorship

Anyone using Apple with Advanced Data Protection attempted to import Photos from Google Photos before? I am being told I can't as have it enabled. Trying to understand if this is new because of the UK government action or just how it's always been.
(not looking on opinions if I should be using any of the products).
Edit:
Found the answer, it's always been this way for some reason 🤷
Guess I will just be doing it manually.
Corteo contro i tagli all’#Istruzione, studenti bruciano una maxi bandiera dell’Europa davanti al #MUR.
In occasione dello sciopero nazionale indetto dai collettivi di #CambiareRotta e #Osa, gli studenti delle università e delle scuole superiori, hanno bruciato la bandiera dell’UE, per protestare contro i tagli all’istruzione e contro i finanziamenti agli armamenti.
Allo sciopero hanno aderito anche i precari della ricerca, delle scuole e i sindacalisti di #Usb.

#UK online safety law #Musk hates kicks in today, and so far, #Trump can’t stop it
Enforcement of a first-of-its-kind #UnitedKingdom law that #ElonMusk wants #DonaldTrump to gut kicked in today, with potentially huge penalties possibly imminent for any Big Tech companies deemed non-compliant.
UK's #OnlineSafetyAct ( #OSA ) forces tech companies to detect and remove dangerous online content, threatening fines of up to 10 percent of global turnover.
#socialmedia
@arstechnica The #OnlineSafetyAct can't be all bad, apparently 'officials on Trump's team "hate" the OSA and view it as "Orwellian."'
