#2Private businesses should not have any insight on what's on people's phones, let alone the ability to ban images. Whilst we, as a society, may have an issue on our hands in that sense (I believe that we totally don't), it is for us to decide how to tackle that, not for governments to actively allow and enforce such rules via private enterprises.

#3Once again this will of course run on the same premise of "guilty until proven innocent" from the Online Safety Act. Children's safety is one thing, but forcing adults to give away private details to unknown age verification entities to simply use the devices they already paid for is an absurd proposition.

It would be a national uprising if politicians would ban alcohol because it could get into hands of children.

Sure, but the government is not trying to stop you from giving a 6 year old a beer. That’s a perfectly legal thing to do!
The legal drinking age in the UK is 5, no joke. Starting from the age of 5, we trust parents to be in charge of kids’ alcohol consumption.
Why is it that we can’t trust parents to similarly control their kids access to porn?

#7Anyone else getting sick of conservatives & religious zealots on their everlasting "nude is bad!" crusade?
Plain nudity in a non-sexual context (eg. naturism, or within a family), minors exploring the bodies of themselves & their peers, sex education, nude art, scandinavian style sauna's, medical subjects, the list of may-involve-nudity-but-harmless-to-minors goes on & on.
These UK politicians serious about banning all the above & more, as soon as it comes near a kids' smartphone? Idiots, they're the ones hurting minors here.

#8If the UK government tells you "think of the children" you know (1) the creeps who are friends with Epstein and the likes are actually thinking of children, and (2) this is a scam and a fallacy.

This is not "nude is bad", this is establishing a framework for all content scanning.
UK has frozen accounts of the organisations it CLAIMS might be sympathetic to the incorrectly proscibed organisation, as per the court of law which claims the government didn't follow its own guidance.
The creeps need to be able to find the dissidents before they have a zoom call.

Because it's not about the kids nor the porn. It's about control.
