@fehrtrade This legislation has absolutely no place in a modern British society and should never have been passed without serious amendments. There are a myriad of emergencies and services in crisis which politicians must prioritise in the #UK because of over a decade of serious incompetence and neglect but instead they have rushed through a set of laws on a topic which they demonstrably cannot possibly understand, even at the most basic of levels

It's too confusing. Somehow protecting children became (as it always does) some kind of government surveillance thing which at the same time really annoys the porn industry.

I don't like the government surveillance or the porn industry. In equal measure. It's quite possible to loathe both.

One thing I'm certain of is that children are, again, being used as a shoehorn for other agenda. I'm not joining in.

>The act requires platforms, including end-to-end encrypted messengers, to scan for child pornography, despite warnings from experts that it is not possible to implement such a scanning mechanism without undermining users' privacy.[6] The government has said that it does not intend to enforce this provision of the act until it becomes technically feasible to do so.

when this becomes feasible, world will have other problems
