This will encourage people to jailbreak their phones.

I would hope the British would vote these bureacratic fools out of office. Government officials that want to spend time trying to censor people’s phones rather than make people’s lives better deserve to be ousted from their positions.

We got rid of the puritans 400 years ago. Can we send the new wave to Mars or something.

This is more retarded than I could ever imagine. How do you even enforce this on desktops? Like you wouldn’t be able to get some open source os without it

At this rate it might be profitable to start printing pictures and burning DVDs like it’s the 1980s again.
I can’t take this seriously because it just shows the level of daft in government as per usual.

Does Starmer want everyone to be miserable like himself in the few years (or months) he has left as UK PM?

This still won’t solve the issue that a child might see nudity elsewhere or think about it (I can imagine a unicorn, even though I’ve never seen one). Perhaps we should remove their eyeballs and drug them up so they have no ability to imagine until they’re 18.

Just checked that updates and store are switched off on my android, just in case. I’m definitely having Huawei as my next phone to have google free version of Android with separate store

Well, it appears we inadvertently elected a convent of carmalite nuns into power, we didn’t recognise or acknowledge the power of the wimple, but here we are.

What the fuck is their problem.
The human body is not a crime. It isnt an offense to see a breast or a penis or a vagina any more than it is to see a leg or an ear.
The country is divided, ethnic and religious tensions are bubbling under the surface and the government want to impose a titty ban.
Fucking hell.

This shit should be causing mass protests. Why the fuck are we just sitting about letting our government turn our country into a mass surveillance state?

Jfc .. they need to go back to the TV shows they made in the 70s and 80s and remind themselves how many titties they showed on screen.

What’s the problem? Underage porn use and normalisation of it is rife amongst children. Unless you’re down with Epstein I can imagine you think that’s wrong.
We have ID checks for a lot of things that can cause damage, like alcohol, tobacco, sharp things. So why not this?
Before the internet no shopkeeper would sell an adult magazine to kids.
As a parent, I support it.
UKAOKyay on
It’s a tricky one, nudity and porn are generally age restricted in all other forms of media, I can see the logic but then again I’m quite old and had to go into a shop to buy my porn as a teen so maybe I just want others to experience that /s

I believe that the intention is good, states think in different ways than individuals, they want to limit child exposure to sex in early age for valid reasons. Perhaps this effort should be applied somewhere else where the output is maximal. Where to hit rightly is a million dollar question.

What‘s up with this UK-borne puritanical shit, censoring and control lately?
jm_coppede on
In my opinion, nothing about puritanism is far removed from that, but rather from the kind of self-serving behavior motivated by revenge and extortion.
Furthermore, not content with that, many people generate nude photos of friends or coworkers using AI.
That’s what I think they want to stop.
