My bet, they'll try to apply this to Twitter, forgetting Elon has the money and connections to fight it, back down but have the legislation lying on the books to reapply it when they think they can get away with it.
NONE of this is required as PARENTAL CONTROLS can easily block this content already, just BE PARENTS!
You're assuming that they're being honest in wanting to protect children. They don't care about protecting a single citizen, regardless of age. All they care about is whether or not they can use a demographic to further push totalitarian control. Because that's what it's about. It's about control. Even if we're being nice about it, I don't even think it's explicitly malicious. I do think that many of these people have non-nefarious goals. But none of that matters because it will never work in a way that doesn't explicitly punish and criminalise the innocent.
Fuck anyone that defends this kind of shit. And anyone that does defend this shit should be the first in line to put their personal details out there for everyone to see while they stand by their words.
And anyone that does defend this shit should be the first in line to put their personal details out there for everyone to see while they stand by their words.
Odds are they already do this, though not out of principle.
The sad thing is that they often don't, and they balk at the idea that they should have to expose themselves while demanding everyone else be exposed. You're mostly right for surface level normies that use things like Facebook and shit like that, but even that is going down and more people are opting for pseudonyms like everyone else on the internet (as they should).
All government powers should be looked at as monkey's paw wishes. Read the law and try to come up with as malicious an interpretation or use case as possible - you can almost guarantee that it will be used that way eventually.
This is the sort of tyranny that should have politicians' blood running down the streets, but I assume they'll just roll over and take it, ushering it a digital dark age for the rest of us as all the governments around the world realize what they can get away with now.
The way it works on the phones is basically automatic, the front facing camera is just on all the time. They will make it convenient enough for anyone with a current phone that the normies won't care.
They also pulled this shit durring the lockdowns already, making Ausies actually take a picture of themselves and send it every few hours to prove they were home, and even that didn't get much pushback. And Canadians are still using the ArriveCan app.
If it's all integrated and "easy" after those inconvenient prototypes succeeded, I fear far too many will just go along with it.
And once one country does it, and the field is prepared because sites and services have capitulated and built the final framework, the dominoes will fall far too quickly.
I do wonder how the public will act when they have to verify their identity every single time they want to access Facebook, Netflix or do their grocery shopping online.
We already know. We saw how the whole of society rolled over and showed their bellies for the Covid dictates. This will be the same nightmarish hellscape. People won't resist at all. They'll do exactly as they're told because they are functionally just livestock.
Maybe, I was more meaning groups like "politicians" because "rules for thee, but not for me" type shit where they know full well their own actions will fuck them over if it meant full face recognition was needed. Westminister has had a shit ton of access made by MPs looking for porn before, for some reason spiking in November, and in previous power grabs they have always made sure their own actions were left out.
Trudeau's Attorney General still hasn't dropped half a million dollars in fines 3 years later for an Amish community that crossed the border in 2021 without phones with his dogshit ArriveCan app.
They've put liens on their farms.
The fines were way out of proportion, usually 15-30k simply for refusing to use the app to check in at the border and in theory could escalate to over six figures for a single crossing.
This is the stuff that the supranational institutions. The UN, WEF, BIS, IMF etc all want because it allows for control. And these are the organisations that control the purse strings. So this will come to you soon.
Otherwise you shut down if you're in the UK, block the UK (and VPN's) if you're outside the UK or risk a fine of £18m or 10% of your worldwide revenue, whichever is higher.
Is this globally subject to "undue efforts" kinds of language? Since it would be such an onerous undertaking for the whole rest of the world to manage the ID system for the UK alone, will it be disregarded when the UK tries to fine foreign countries for not participating? Will the entire UK just become its own walled garden internet like the North Koreans? What a joke this all is.
18M or 10% OF REVENUE, "whichever is higher", is a preposterous amount of money too. it's a "go bankrupt, instantly" amount of money, for basically ANY company.
The UK is saying "submit to our petty spy plan wills with the blessings of Palantir Corp, or shut down in ignominy!". They sound like crackpot tinpots.
My vote it for walling off the UK, and trying to get buy-in from Amazon and Google and Musk to all join in the wall-off, with a nice splash page explanation of "your politicians voted for this, in your name. If you don't like it, vote smarter, not Starmer, next time."
Trudeau tried something very similar a year or two ago when he passed some sort of Online News Act legislation where he demanded Google & Facebook pay his Pravda-backed in-house Canadian news outlets payments anytime ANYONE on their platforms posted a link to their news content.
Otherwise he threatened to fine them something like 4% of their global revenues.
Google cucked almost immediately and negotiated some deal worth several hundred million dollars to hand over to Trudeau's propaganda outlets.
Facebook took a harder stance, blocking any Canadian news links for awhile.
Like all Trudeau's faggotry, it really wasn't clear how he was going to enforce payment.
When it's British authorities and they're doing something "for the kids" (rofl, Rotherham, Savile), you know that they're really doing it to keep the 'multicultural project' afloat.

It's not about protecting children. They don't give a shit about that.
They care about the opposite, really.
It's about banning wrong think.

Oh I KNOW THAT but I'm sick and tired of them getting away with censorship to authoritarian power grabs like this because 'think of the children!'
Anyone who still falls for this STILL should have voting rights removed.
Odds are they already do this, though not out of principle.

I'm just old enough to remember that "no mandatory government ID! For anything!" was once a conservative talking point in the united states.
Funny what a little promise of convenience, and claims of fixing a system that was intentionally broken, can do to change priorities.
I was going to say that all the NPCs have already been conditioned to use their iPhone's Face ID as their screenlock.
We already know. We saw how the whole of society rolled over and showed their bellies for the Covid dictates. This will be the same nightmarish hellscape. People won't resist at all. They'll do exactly as they're told because they are functionally just livestock.
They will do it. No complaints
Oh yeah? We'll just wait for the citizens of the UK to find their guns shall we? Any moment now they will be able to mount an armed resistance.
Any. Moment. Now.
/s
Wait and see what exemptions get rolled out by the ones lobbying and voting for it.
Maybe, I was more meaning groups like "politicians" because "rules for thee, but not for me" type shit where they know full well their own actions will fuck them over if it meant full face recognition was needed. Westminister has had a shit ton of access made by MPs looking for porn before, for some reason spiking in November, and in previous power grabs they have always made sure their own actions were left out.
Onlyfans, instagram et al will probably be exempt.
Sorry. my computer doesn't have a camera.
Sorry, my phone doesn't have a camera.
My phone can't run your verification app because it's literally a flip phone.

Isnt this what things like TOR were created for?

UK is going to need it's own starlink pirate internet now.

This is why we need to get Boomers out of politics.
As an ignorant Yankee looking in on Britbongistan, I think Torries are the British equivalent of my mantra that Republicans are the enemy too.
At this point I'm OK with leaving NATO and letting Russia take Britain and the EU. It's probably the only thing that can save them at this point.
Russia probably doesn't want them either
So kids will be protected from tranny propaganda on the web?
Somehow I have a feeling THAT is perfectly kid safe.
The UK is an embarrassment to the West.
Maybe it's time for America to put mum in a home.
The onus is on them to block traffic they don't want. my server and I are located in the USA. it's not my job to enforce UK laws.
Can’t spell cuck without UK.
Anything not government propaganda will be deemed “not safe for kids.”
If its anything like the covid tracking app. It'll cost billions, won't work and will quietly be forgotten.
When it's British authorities and they're doing something "for the kids" (rofl, Rotherham, Savile), you know that they're really doing it to keep the 'multicultural project' afloat.
