Looks like some have to the come conclusion that the problem in “1984” was the dangerous lack of surveillance. This is a left-wing (Labour) government, btw.
Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.
How about arresting pedophiles starting with those connected to Epstein?
We will do anything except education.
This is a left-wing
Oh?
(Labour) government, btw.
Oh.
Neoliberal is not “left wing“.
Thank you. Needed to be said.
What would be a left-wing party in the UK?
I think Labour were left wing before, but they were compromised by right-wingers and now they are about as right wing as our right wing mainstream party, the conservatives.
Pro-Israel, arresting activists, cutting welfare and disability benefits. I like to call them Forced Labour.
absolutely. in no way do they represent their namesake in 2026.
basically red tory.
green, maybe lib dem?
In what way?
sorry, are you asking in what way a party like green would be considered left wing in the UK?
Ok, yeah. Stupid question. I mean: In what way are they left, but labour isn’t?
Labour focus on an economy that is for business. They think that austerity leads to growth (somehow). They basically sell themselves as neo liberals with a heart, but that heart isn’t in control of much.
Greens as like the Labour of old. They focus on an economy that serves the population. They want to redistribute wealth away from corporations and banking, towards the rest of us, and services for the rest of us.
I don’t know why isn’t it just the parents responsibility. For example where I live, you can get charged with “negligent storage of a firearm”. Why can’t there just be a “negligent allowing your kid to do whatever they want with no DNS filtering” offense
Because parents vote?
Adults will still be able to take, share or view nude content through an age verification process.
OR “Harvesting Users data/IDs via social media isn’t working because people just simply stopped using social media…but people can’t stop looking at porn! that’s where we’ll get em!”
fuck off.
Bet it’ll still bar a significant amount of youthful looking, small breasted, hair-free folk up to the age of 40… If they also implement an AI scan
Bet said AI model that would clearly be trained on images of CSAM will be hacked to generate worse images than Grok
Conservative logic be like: “It’s personal responsibility. If you don’t want to get an abortion, just don’t have sex!”
Also Conservatives: “We can’t have anyone look at porn! So we must make it as difficult as possible for people to view porn.”
Excuse me, my product is up here… ;/
They’re just evolving. Its all the same thing - a foot in the door. Using children and even teenagers as bait is the real tragedy here, such minorities are only getting harmed with this victim blaming bullshit.
Calling Starmer’s Government left-wing is ironic considering by most accounts he’s proven himself to be slightly progressive Tory in a red tie
He is the type of person to make enemies out of both sides, no body likes him except corpos and Israel probably.
Nooo, it’s only me who can look at underage nudes, not the underage people!!
Imagine how scarring it would be to look in a “smart mirror” and have it automatically censor your own body.
This is of course, aside from the million reasons I don’t trust the government when they talk about “for the children” …
I remember watching a video of a North Korean phone, which from memory took a screenshot every 15 seconds or so. Now I read about age verification with nuditity scanning on the OS level being serisously discussed in a supposed free country
A company like Microsoft would love this, the impetus might even be equally coming from that direction, for nudity scanning read just scanning. Their concern and limiting factor is the rich availability of alternative OS and the great unwashed just needing a reason to switch, this is not 95. If you are really worried about children you address the problem via parental obligation not forcing every adult to get into the habit of yielding personal identification to any service that asks. But everyone knows that, everyone knows what the plan is, most people view it with apathy because it is expected the powers that be will meet totalitarianism with the same degree of incompetence that they meet everything else with.
Yeah we need to stop blaming individuals and political parties and start blaming ourselves for our complete inability to hold our own governments accountable. This is not democracy, and the more we convince ourselves this is “normal” for democratic governments to be this corrupted and/or incompetent (if you want to be generous) that they ignore the wishes of the actual human beings who they represent in favor of the corporations and state apparatus and “the economy”, the worse things are going to get. Governments of any color and stripe acting like this is NOT normal, it is NOT democracy, and it is NOT acceptable, and democracy requires us to hold them accountable. People need to get ANGRY and protest while we still are able to, not be apathetic and accepting and normalize it. You did not vote for this. Do not let them get away with it.
Oh god you useless fucks. You realize a non nude image is easily made nude with AI now right? The end result is the same, whether its real or not.
In addition, there are more ways to share these than just using computers. You can’t possibly police it all.
Labour government not punching themselves in the dick challenge (impossible)
We cannot possibly let children know what a human body is or looks like !
This is already partially true. With the crippling ability to properly teach sex-ed & biology - because “reasons”; we have children and also teens/adults who know barely anything about sexual anatomy.
It’s their master plan: if kids don’t learn about bodies and sex, they’ll have unwanted pregnancies soon. Ooops: we also banned abortions! Wow, amazing. Now there’s going to be a wave of new kids that can work for our companies and make us earn more money!!
So, they don’t have a plan. Their “plan” is threatening the companies to implement their ideas, or else!
