Should've just jumped straight to 12 gauge when technology starts acting up

Happy Valentines Day to those who are celebrating it

To everyone else in the same boat as me...hold strong, we can get through this
One more day

Also anyone in the EU please get in contact with your representatives on how this would be a breach of UE GDPR, I would for the UK but....well it's our fault in the first place so....

As an Englishman, yes
I am so sorry that my retarded country imposed this horseshit on the rest of the world

Also Lanius being subservient to ANOTHER Caesar candidate is just odd because Lanius was 2nd in Command, he was the military leader, he was THE GUY!

I mean other than jut banning twitter the only other option is to request twitter bans grok in the UK
Usage and images seen

I say they should go after the account owners that are in UK jurisdiction and encourage the US to do the same with theirs

I....I don't know how to feel about this....
I've never BEEN sultry!

It's hella ironic that those same types of people are also for bringing back gatekeeping of the things they enjoy.

I mean, yes, but just for sketching.
Like, I am trying to get my art skills back but the reminder of how good I used to be (and I was meh-mid at best back then) just freezes me.
SO MUCH WORK to get back to where I was...and even then there is more work to actually be good...

More abs!

Ironically the only thing he has actually made is a Digital Hellscape for UK citizens in terms of privacy.
And is actively trying to make it even worse by not wanting to be in support of ANYTHING other than soundbites.
He's the living embodiment or BEIGE!

Labour's popularity going forward.
If they were smart they would roll it in with a no confidence vote if the PM is unwilling to listen

And if they lie in the chambers using misinterpreted data it's easier to challenge

I mean they could collaborate with all the rest of the opposition.
Currently Reform, Lib Dems, Greens and Tory members all have opposition to this law, I ha e even seen rumour if back bench Labour too
Not enough to "win" but enough to show that this is a deeply unpopular law and will affect

I mean, for one I am glad because it means I don't have to deal with Online Safety Act bullshit
But on the other hand it wouldn't go amiss/feel forced if they were in the game

The BBC should remain an independent and impartial news service.

I would encourage yourself, and your party, to increase and improve your media presence as much as you can. You don't have to be populist to be popular.

Let me guess, your MP is either Labour or Greens
Greens are hit and miss on criticism to the OSA, Labour outright just dismiss any concerns and align with Peter Kyle's disgusting claim.

Lib Dems seem to be against it, as does most of the right wing.

I mean you don't even NEED to bring VPN's into it.
Young teens/pre-teens have been sharing proxy sites since the early 2010's. The law is only as effective as the compliance.

I agree it's a regressive policy and the oppressive nature of it is going to cause more harm than good.

Or we could stop pretending everyone online is definitely a "real" person.
By which I mean we should assume that people put in personas online and that being anonymous is not the same as not being human.
I think we should put less of our real selves online anyway

Instead of an oppressive over-bearing piece of legislation that demands UK citizens to give our private data to 3rd party companies who may be selling that data off, or have shoddy security themselves and end up leaking it.
Handing over private data shouldn't be normalised

Which is why I'd've loved to see a government class on how to easily put many of the protections you can do for kid's devices on.
If there are bad parents who do not wish to do that we need to have a societal ousting of those parents, they need to be publicly shamed as bad parents in those cases

I mean they say that but we know that other data that "shouldn't be sold" has found it's way to the dark web
When companies and govs start acting trustworthy I'll trust them
Until then I'll have a heavy level of skepticism and opt-outs (even though it should be opt in, not mandatory)

I mean I am one to not use biometric sign ins on my phone because I don't want Google or my phone manufacturer that data either.

Needless to say I perceived the UK has a date weaker security system than even the cheapest Huawei phone

as one point of failure is less secure than many in the UK system.
And they may claim it is voluntary but if you link everything to it for the sake of convenience then all other methods will be dropped, leading to it being mandatory in practice, as well as intent
I don't trust the UK gov "security"

Okay that specific one, maybe, I don't know Estonian systems enough to know one way or the other, but if leaks like this are happening I still don't want to find the UK being subject to it, especially not in a mandatory capacity
If voluntary it'd still be a bad thing to put everything in one place

I mean the UK govt can't seem to keep our id's safe at all.
The implementation of the OSA without prescribed restrictions on who can even do the ID checks alone shows that even if this digital ID is all done "in house" the UK is reckless with data security

Lessons from a massive data leak At the beginning of 2024, criminals breached the server of Allium UPI, stealing data on the customers of Apotheka, Apotheka Beauty and Pet City.

Hell according to this report Estonia had a 700,000 ID codes leak, and 400,000 email addresses.
Even if just the email addresses alone is taken as gospel it's still 28.57% of all of Estonians

How does this sound safe, to anyone?
Convenience over safety is folly

That would be a catastrophic leak and not a risk I'd wish to impose upon the UK population. Especially when there has been rumour of having kids as young as 13 years old to have a mandatory ID...yeah it's not a great start to their life to have their ID leaked
2/3

So in 2021 the Estonian Digital ID had a breach that led to 286,438 people's ID's being leaked. With rough maths from the current population it'd be 20.46% of all Estonian's ID's leaked
And we're going to model our ID on a similar system
To compare such a breach tot he UK population is 14,64,458 1/3

If you have to vote tactically the LibDems are currently opposing digital id and are in the least looking to reform the OSA, I'd not actually repealing it.

And if, and only if, they show some actual care for data security and privacy.
I mean if there is an MoD style leak, or worse, an Estonia styled hack then everyone on the system is at risk. And if 13 y/o are on that system we'd've essentially ruined their lives as you can't unleak that data.
