  I’ve been having a look at the report, the conclusion is, bizarrely but predictably, that the legislation being completely ineffective means that they need to restrict things even more:

  “We will shortly be publishing our rapid assessment of what highly effective age assurance could look like for determining whether someone is 16 or over and are working closely with the government on the implementation of the expected new restrictions. We will continue to drive compliance with the Online Safety Act for services that fall outside the social media ban and to improve the experience of 16–17-year-olds.”

    Yay...

    And even that won't work.

    Why oh why can't we have a sane government for fucks sake

      It is sane, if the idea is to funnel more wealth to the wealthy.
