I think they will ban vpns but as this article hints at, more regulation
[Find in Page:] "Parent"=0 "Parents"=0 "Father"=0 "Mother"=0
It's their job to guard their kids from this content first and foremost. It's their job to put it into context for their children. But the article doesn't even mention that any of this is a humongous failing of parents.
Next this commissioner will want to outlaw computer mice because they're used to click pornographic content without verifying the age of the finger on the button. And roads because adult content actors use them to get to jobs.
The way forward is not banning or making worse all sorts of useful tools as collateral damage in this "think of the children" campaign. It is to get all adult content everywhere behind a barrier toddlers cannot break. We were fine with porn mags partially obscured on the top shelf at a news agent when that was a thing. And the salesperson making sure the customer wasn't a minor. The solution isn't closing all digital news agents.
And it's quite telling that the existence of VPNs didn't play a bigger part in this UK online safety initiative. Like it wasn't obvious that when the west entrance to porn central was closed off, people wouldn't naturally look for the ones in east, north, and south.
Edited typo
stop making housing so expensive instead of thinking about children every hour ministers
please think of the children!
He says with 2TB of CSAM on his computer
I have yet to read any coherent argument why any kind of media that young people actively choose to watch, actively seek out, would ever be harmful to them.
It’s the battle-cry of insecure folk growing old.
If I don’t like it, it must be bad. But if I don’t understand it, it must be dangerous.
ffs, authoritarian overreaching technologically illiterate BS. This also won't work if you're determined, make sure you have a paid up VPS!
So they prefer to spy on what their kids are doing? Bah, those ministers are nonce creeps.
Make controlled corn illegal.
Make VPN illegal.
Make horny illegal.
Make showing body and hairs in public illegal.
This little drama may be UK specified, but govs are pushing borders of how much they can squeeze us before society starts to boil. We should boil and explode fast and faster each time, making such gov illegal instead.
Just saying... And I did not speak out, Because I was not an UK citizen.
If you think this isn’t gonna spread, you’re deluding yourself
I'm bit worried, do You mean what will spread, gov and company greed, or citizen disobedience?
I won't delude anyone for hunger for power and money will only grow while eating. But citizens fighting for their freedom, uhm... well... sure, there is always breakpoint, when society will explode and do fight... but so far, it looks like, greed do 10 steps front, society explode, and greed do 1 step back, all calm, and greed do next 10 steps forward, another protest, another 1 step back, another chill, and next 10 steps...
i meant all the draconian bullshit the UK government is doing. It's GOING to spread. A matter of when, not if.
