So she thinks the Online Safety Act is keeping people safe but simultaneously online safety is getting worse?

The Online Safety Act is the greatest act of self-harm we’ve done on our countries future prospects around innovation and inclusivity; nothing has put our nations citizens in greater danger than this legislation – and this is not an understatement.
Whoever is going to eject the Online Safety Act and Digital ID plans into the sun next election will have my vote, it is my single issue.
The OSA makes it harder for people to visit sites that are willing to comply with the law so they go to sites that don’t. Hardly a shock that the outcome is that the web is less safe.
>A recent survey of more than 2,500 girls and young women by Girlguiding found that 26% of girls aged 13 to 18 have seen a sexualised deep fake of themselves, a friend or a celebrity.
Whilst this is awful, I feel like the “celebrity” part of this statistic is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting.
I now use Yandex a lot instead of google because google results are so heavily filtered…
On the plus side, I don’t get filtered results any more, on the downside, it’s a Russian search engine, and you can find all sorts of wild websites on there. If I didn’t have all the blockers etc install in my browser, I’d probably get a virus within minutes.
Yes not much you can do to stop it other than educate the next generations.
It’s about time we told the government to stop being our mother and start being our government. It’s not their job to tell me what I can and cannot access, it’s their job to create a functional society with things such as cheap public transportation and affordable homes.
The Online Safety Act was never going to work. They just used the notion of protecting children so that anyone who criticised the act could be portrayed as being OK with children seeing porn and other objectionable content. All that was needed to protect kids was better education in schools, holding tech giants to account over removing unacceptable content, and getting parents to take responsibility for their kids again. All this legislation has done is made it so that people are forced to look for ways around it to access certain content, taking them to less secure parts of the internet.
