Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

What a load of bollocks. The bill would do nothing to stop that or stop such images or videos being shared. Every website in the UK that this would apply to does not allow that stuff to be posted and would take it down as soon as they saw it if it was. Now they might get fined if there is 5 minutes before they see something and take it down and people will abuse that by signing up to sites they want to cause grief and uploading banned stuff

ISP's use the IWF blocklist to block websites in other countries that might host that stuff too. It is not going to effect bulletproof hosting in different countries/jurisdiction where something like this might get hosted.

As for social media platforms and chat programs, I believe some of them hash images sent and block known hashes. Blaming a company that runs a chat program like Signal or Telegram which uses end to end encryption for something a user sends and is not stored on their server goes too far too. Personally I think this bill is part of GCHQ's plan to have blanket access to everyones phone so they can 'pre-scan' anything sent including text. They are being very vocal about this at the moment while this bill is being talked about.

100% it would be used to expand the 5 eyes network and scan anything on any phone at will without having to potentially burn exploits and C2 infrastrucrure.
