@openrightsgroup Naomi's argument seems to focus solely on the dangers of sex work, neglecting the voices of those who choose it. By framing sex work as inherently harmful, we risk further stigmatising and marginalising sex workers. Instead, we should advocate for their rights, emphasising decriminalisation and regulation to ensure safety and autonomy. Her argument is fixated on anti-sex work rhetoric, side lining crucial issues like data sharing risks and the implications of age verification.

It doesn't seem like they have thought about the privacy and protection of data for UK residents at all, even worse it feels like they are purposely undermining it.

This is an absolutely authoritarian move from the UK govenment, I'm sure they'll be coming after VPNs next, just like they've been targetting encrypted messaging.

This is about controlling the public not protecting it.

Just remember folks with a VPN you can hide your location so geoblocked BBC is available,and free as you no longer need a tv licence either.

The UK Online Safety Act has ushered in a market for age verification without regulating the industry 🤷‍♂️

Millions of UK users have to trade their sensitive data to access information or support that’s deemed ‘harmful’.

We compromise our digital rights with no regulatory standards for privacy or security.
