You can still Google image search “tits”. The OSA doesn’t stop that.
Comment on Is 4chan the Perfect 'Pirate Bay' Poster Child to Justify Wider UK Site-Blocking?

I don’t know why we couldn’t have what we already have on mobile. My kids phones have isp enforced restrictions that prevent them stumbling onto most adult sites. At home I’ve got their devices fairly locked down but I’m fairly technical so know how it works. I don’t know why households couldn’t just have a setting with their ISP that allows them to opt in/out of blocking non-OSA compliment sites rather than doing a blanket censorship.
I get the reasoning behind the OSA - a lot of parents don’t know how to protect their kids online and defer to the government to sort it out. However the implementation has been a giant flustercuck.

Yes. I would rather have feds and corpos control what my kids can and can't access.
We really are headed into two tier society... People who take digital sovereignty seriously and the useful idiot slaves

Because it’s not about the kids.
The UK, or any government, could instead use the money for OSA to create a protocol/mandate that phone and net providers need to adhere to, which enables parents to restrict to adult content. Heck, phone-only sims and adult traffic control administered via “parent accounts” would deal with almost the entire problem seeing how most young people use phones for internet access anyways instead of laptops and desktops.
But it’s not about the kids. It’s about control and having an excuse to abolish privacy.
