    Its an absolutely awful way of tackling the problem of sexting and cross sharing of nudes.

    Zero chance this won’t misidentify content, be easy to bypass, and massively extended.

    Does anyone seriously believe that the type of content it looks for won’t be expanded in what it searches for, and that it will cover adult devices over time?

    Thats before you look at jt as a way for mass role out of device level identity verification dressed up as age verification.

      The UK is returning to a society pre-Ulysses where freedom of expression is heavily censored with a blunt fist of government overreach.

      The novel was brought to Bodkin’s attention in in 1922 by the Customs Department, which had seized copies of the book being imported from France. Bodkin reviewed the text and deemed it obscene, thus supporting the ban on its publication and distribution in the United Kingdom. The censorship actions led by Bodkin contributed to the broader international suppression of Ulysses, preventing it from being legally available to readers in many English-speaking countries. The censorship of Ulysses by authorities like Bodkin had a profound impact on the literary world, highlighting the tension between artistic freedom and societal standards of morality and decency.

      This isn’t anything new, it is England regressing to a reactionary violent conservatism it knows well.

      Almost as if that’s just an excuse and not the actual goal. 🤔
