>Technology platforms are to be compelled by law to proactively find and stop content promoting self-harm to adults as well as children, in a bid to boost online safety.>The change to strengthen the Online Safety Act will make clear to social media companies that it is not optional as to whether to take quick action on protecting users from “toxic material”, the new Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said.>She said such content is so harmful that it can be “the difference between life and death”.>The change – legally requiring tech firms to prevent such content from appearing in the first place, rather than simply reacting to it – is expected to come into effect this autumn and will mean that encouraging or assisting serious self-harm will be treated as a priority offence.>The Molly Rose Foundation – set up by bereaved father Ian Russell after his 14-year-old daughter Molly took her own life, having viewed harmful content on social media – welcomed the strengthening of the Act.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ofcom-liz-kendall-samaritans-government-b2822293.htmlThe OSA is getting worse. So much worse. Now all Brits will be blocked from viewing "self-harm/suicide" content even if they are verified as 18+.If they apply these laws liberally, then we could end up with a bizarre scenario where people in the UK can no longer listen to a song that romanticises suicide (so a significant portion of rock/alternative music), or watch a film/play a video game that features a suicide/self-harm scene.
Just seems like normal UK stuff

>>106526841Stop having toxic and problematic thoughts. Be happy.
>>106526864This. It's amazing how no matter who you vote for, it's always the wrong choice. And in the UK it seems to be twice as true somehow.

>>106527018The UK population are the sheepiest cattle ever. They'll eat up whatever propaganda is thrown at them.
>>106526841>slippery slope happening this quicklyThey didn't even give it a few months before moving on from "this is just to protect kids".
>>106526841Just how oversocialized and labotomized is the average britbong? Are buildings no longer tall enough for you guys to drop off? Don't know how to make a brownoid "disappear" that you had enough with?
>>106526841UK is basically on its way to becoming failed state
The UK is a failed state.
>>106527064Kill democracy. Citizens have a fundamental right to all information, the right to skepticism, and the right to be wrong. Democracy has a dark side consequence too, like negativity, and people that are confidently incorrect.Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with trust. Trust is the primary mechanism of fascism.Filtering information like this is therefore stealing democracy. It is normalizing trust in neo feudal overlords. It is a coup. The only issue with failed coups is the timeline. This has been a long term plan. Within a decade, citizen will be functionally equivalent to slave. "You will own nothing and you'll be happy about it," because otherwise you will be dead.
>>106527306>>106527399well that was quick

>>106527064It's a mix of pork barreling and just adding more laws to the point where everything eventually becomes illegal through some technicality or an interpretive dance of the law. They don't have to enforce these laws or care that their presence still costs money, but they need them for the occasion when they want to fuck somebody or something up that isn't hurting or bothering anybody that other laws are too narrow to catch.It's the phase of late stage democracy when it transitions to pound me in the ass authoritarianism communism. The vast majority of people need very little oversight or government and care very little for politics, but the Karens and kikes of the world want power and to dictate the world. The allure of power is strong for the sociopaths of the world to reach the highest levels of government but is of little interest for regular honest people, until it becomes a real problem for us.
>>106527585Shariah law would be an improvement over where the UK is heading desuAt least Islam, while shit, comes with SOME benefits when it comes to women and lgbt topics for example.In the UK you get the surveillance police state, terrorist attacks and the rainbow feminism on top.
