UK's "Online Safety Bill" should be renamed the "Online Exposure Bill

I believe the “Online Safety Bill” should be renamed the “Online Exposure Bill,” and here’s why:

  1. Age verification likely involves estimating age based on biometric data – essentially, using an algorithm to scan a photo or video of the user." making our identity transparent in the digital world.
  2. “Client-side scanning, where a phone or other device would scan the content of a message before it’s encrypted and flag or block violating material.” This effectively renders E2EE (End-to-End Encryption) useless!
jsdz,

It seems like nothing much has changed since this was written: webdevlaw.uk/…/fixing-uks-online-safety-bill-part…

twinnie,

The government’s cancelled the bit about scanning messages. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. The coffin dodgers floating around those halls keep proposing this stuff based on tech they don’t understand, then it always get stopped eventually.
