Some of it is to know where your children are when they are out with friends
You can call them and tell them to come home or they can call and ask to go somewhere else, so it has a safety aspect to it

But there are not many things in life that don’t have a plus side and a negative side

That's how it was when we were growing up but most of the families had someone home so help was always a house or two away, but very rarely needed. We don't really hear of parents monitoring or limiting internet access in the masses.

you can't stop kids doing something they have a mind to do. If they don't have a phone they can steal one, or buy one cheap second hand. They will always find a way when adults stop them doing something they want to do

The fundamental issues are around education and society

Totally agree
It’s the same with suicide,?if someone has got it in their head to do then it’s almost impossible to stop them

It's less that it can't be stopped. More that parents don't even seem to be bothered about what they're doing on the internet at all. It's like they expect big government and entire websites to do the parenting for them.

I got roound it straight away and without a proxy. Flippin' stupid law.

If the purpose is to protect kids from inappropriate content and groomers, why does the Bill include having elite teams looking for anti-illegal migrant posts?

If the purpose isn't to be utilised to enact government overreach and erode online privacy, why does the Vill actively enable such things?

Exactly! The Online Safety Act is more far-reaching than just adding age verification to adult websites.

it's very difficult to browse online with privacy. There are so many ways of identifying individuals

Put natural browsing aside for a minute, and companies can use packet sniffers on your broadband line and identify exactly what you have been doing

There are many reasons that I can’t stand Starmer, but top of the list right now is making me have to agree with Farage on something, I’m mortified and now he’s got people out there comparing people who think this bill is a government overreach in an attempt to censor things they deem impure, to jimmy saville? It’s like they’re completely opposed to being on the right side of things

Well I never thought that I'd see the day where Liam and Nigel Farage are on the same page.

That's how bad this policy is, it's uniting almost everyone against Starmer.

There are now a multitude of methods being used to get round this now. One of the methods are sites that are creating fake driving licence details with Keir Starmers picture on it

The crazy thing is all the under age people who they are ‘protecting /preventing’ will be technically savvy enough to find away around the new system and the only ones who can legally watch porn either won’t want to jump through hoops to prove their age or won’t know to use a VPN ( if they even know what one is in the first place ! )

People are definitely finding methods around it, so you're right about younger people navigating around this daft policy.
