The bill says a lot of things, it started out bad and has been amended and amended many times over years. I think the relevant points are putting things like requirements for age verification for anything possibly considered ‘harmful’ (like adult images) by way of, for example, requiring uploading an image of your Government issued ID or by using a face scan AI recognition system. The main other contentious one is the power for Ofcom to direct companies offering encrypted messaging services to break the security model of end-to-end encryption to allow content scanning and surveillance. Most big platforms (e.g. Apple, Meta/WhatsApp, Signal) said they would withdraw messaging services from the UK rather than breaking E2EE. The Government recently kinda said they might not use that power but then have been quite keen to try and say they’re not backing down so who knows what that means…
