Oooh! Does this mean they will stop AI companies stripmining our culture in defiance of copyright laws?

All this will mean in practice is that honest people will have to show their IDs to their phone to be able to login to the internet while everybody else bypasses online safety laws by using VPNs and other means.
The UK will soon be like China for online control and regulation.
Does this mean the repeal and re evaluation of the Online Safety Act?
How can these politicians, many of which like this gen x’er here grew up with a foot in both analog and digital worlds, be so fucking technologically illiterate, all while stubbornly refusing to enact any kind of regulation on these technocratical megacorps first and instead focussing on monitoring and regulating what we do? It’s all getting so fascist-adjacent right now – I’m fracking tired.
Will this mean Starmer stops handing taxpayer and personal NHS data to horrible tech companies like Palantir? No?
The lack of scrutiny is the problem. Any government who wants to do things like this should, on no account, be allowed to do so!
Better headline: Technically challenged people over 50 wish to regulate an industry they have limited understanding and exposure of without scrunity of those who might.
Keith Starmer will stop at nothing in his quest to know what you’re cranking your hog to. Other, some might say, more important matters can wait until his quest to analyse the nations wanking is complete

Why is Keir Starmer suddenly so oddly authoritarian? Why is he trying to invent US presidential powers for himself & his ministers like the unilateral & pernicious so-called “Executive Order?” He has a large majority & can pass anything he wants.
And please, note before you mates start, we are Labour voters here who loathe Elon Musk & all he does.
Honestly, probably a controversial opinion, but I really don’t mind the OSA, its literally had no affect on my day to day life. I’m also partially in favour of an U16 ban on social media – personally feel like I would prefer the U13 ban to be more enforceable, but no matter what way you do it, it just ends up as looking like the OSA.
My biggest problem is putting these powers into place for subsequent governments to pass regulations without oversight. Just think of a reform government that declares any discussion of trans people fall under the “not age appropriate” banner, meaning trans kids and teens (not to mention adults who don’t want to be tracked) may not be able to access online resources, support or communities that may help them. The same goes for any marginalised group when a right wing government is in play.
Both of those amendments grant insanely broad powers, a minister could literally ban or kill any business they dislike. Wild!
Wtf is wrong with this government, they have such a hard on for censoring and monitoring
Imagine what Prime Minister Farage and his cabinet thugs will be able to accomplish without parliamentary scrutiny.
It’s astounding that Starmer is literally laying the groundwork for a right wing authoritarian police state.
I am really being won over by those people who tell me that I should vote for Labour again.
How about they regulate the fucking billionaire owners of the tech?
I can remember in the 90s we had to use our credit card as ID to access porn, but now it’s so easy. The government definitely needs to do something. Plus WhatsApp and things being used by terrorists because of end to end incription. They should be able to access this in criminal circumstances.
Won’t someone think of the children!
Parents need to do a bit better in protecting their offspring from the online world. It takes effort, not too much, but effort is required.
Rather a more benevolent government asking for my ID than a party like Reform.
I imagine we’ll see a huge crackdown on corruption, insider dealing and money laundering with this legislation?
Or will it just target firesticks?
„Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.“
Nice to see people who have no technical knowledge or training (or any skill in anything other than to favourably frame rhetoric to fit their agenda) think they have the ability to safeguard citizens. Seems like another “trust me bro” situation so they can quietly sell us (probably quite cheaply) to the tech bros.
So glad to be part of the UK. Love what we’re becoming. Really good Scotland isn’t independent.
Good. This needs to happen if democracies are here to survive. The tech we’re against now is too advanced to just close your eyes and hope for the best where information warfare is allowed in the name of free speech. Information warfare has been proven 100% effective to sway entire populations one way or another – more importantly to vote against own interests
