Re: Online Safety Bill
It was a joke...
Not sure why the emojis at the end didn't appear correctly.

Considering the amount of rubbish surrounding the Online Safety Bill any fantasies could be considered and put forward. For instance the idea the Online Safety Bill would stop children from being targeted has already shown it will not work when it was disclosed that attacks have been perpetrated at UK children from Africa. It has no teeth if the attacks are from outside the country. What Orwellian fantasises will they create to cover that issue ?

You didnt use forum smilies. Phone emojis wont work.
As to webcams, you just cover them with a bit of tape.

I'm not aware that there have been any Orwellian fantasies put forward by France or the UK. It was simply a joke.
If a country became so strict with it's citizens as to make them use a webcam to see if under 3's were watching the television (not that I think that France would do this) then covering up the webcam would probably result in a visit by the sectet police!

The Online Safety Act dictates that search engines, messaging services, video sharing platforms and sites that have user generated content are required to have safeguards to protect children from extremist & terrorist content. Fines of up
18 million pounds can be levied on those who fail to do so.
Dr Moses Ashafe from Ofcom is a Principle Officer overseeing online hate and terrorism.said that they will have much more resources next year to disrupt or block services if needs be.
This programme says that websites have been given access to key phrases in order to flag up innapropriate material.
It also says that a significant number of people who post such material are neuro diverse eg autism.
I think that those who post inappropriate things on the internet as a result of neuro divergence should be offered help as opposed to being punished for it.
If not, it would be akin to charging someone with mobility problems for causing an obstruction!!

Re: Online Safety Bill
Can anyone take responsibility for their own actions today? Always blaming someone or something else apart from themselves.
Maybe the neuro diverse need their own set of rules and be more limited / monitored in their use of the internet?

Some people are unable to take responsibility for their actions, but they cannot be allowed to troll people or post innapropriate things.
One answer could be to have a moderate check their posts before it goes live on any site??

All I see are snowflakes. If "you" don't react then they will get fed up.Or you could just not read them.

Most sites are run by private individuals and the moderators are volunteers who give their time freely to ensure the smooth running of the site.

… indeed. And we don’t pre-moderate for various reasons including the fact that the workload would be too great for volunteers to be expected to bear.

Re: Online Safety Bill
To be honest it would kill a lot of forums, who could be arsed waiting for a post to be checked in a quick fire thread.

It's bad enough on some Facebook groups that are set to mod check. I wait 4 days for a post to be made public recently. The moment had passed for the thing I was posting about.
