Unfortunately for the tattooist, the UK government considers it "harmful" nudity. I'm not sure why the BBC reporter is ignoring that fact.

Apple's failed attempt at adding client side scanning for illegal content should have made everyone weary of trusting them when it comes to security and privacy. The idea should have been killed long before it even became public.

Nobody is worry about making the jobs of age verification companies trying to violate user privacy any easier. In fact we should be moving towards new ways of circumventing these attacks on privacy.

Use parental controls on your child's device if you don't want them seeing things. Don't use your bad parenting as an excuse to violate privacy with age verification for everyone else.

How is this not bigger news? The UK is demanding mandatory client side scanning malware that watches everything you see/do, on every smartphone in the country. This includes spying on encrypted messages before they are encrypted.

The EU Commission is currently rushing ahead with their anti-privacy age verification plans that require Google/Apple account to function. They aren't going to save anyone from this. I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that

Politicians have been pushing companies to be more aggressive about banning individuals who open new accounts after their previous one gets banned. That was even one of the requirements of the deal in the recent social media court case in t

Canada is about the learn this lesson the hard way with bill C-22. At the rate things are going, Canadians will wake up to find themselves being blocked by WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal and other popular messaging apps. The legislation current

They already have said they will do that, and Apple has already blocked services from the UK rather than comply with their anti-encryption insanity.

Why would someone paying for an expensive camera to damage the pixels of their images with "invisible" watermarks?

The only people living in a fantasy world are the ones that want mandatory online age verification for social media, adult content, private messaging, video games, and things of that nature.

Mandatory online age/ID verification is an unacceptable violation of privacy. It doesn't matter how its implemented. There's no such thing as privacy protecting or anonymous age verification. Parental controls and self-declar

Mandatory verification is an unacceptable attack on privacy. A device level whitelist of kid safe areas that is disabled by default and enabled by parents is a better idea.

I'm waiting for them to turn every wifi router in 3D tracking nodes that monitor the exact location and body position of everyone nearby in buildings. Its too juicy of target once they get the tech fully figured out.

Despite the UK's better sex education, the country (or at least its leadership) is still disturbingly socially conservative when it comes to sex.

The New Mexico AG behind this case is Raul Torrez. He's a fascist/authoritarian asshole who has been using this case to try and force mandatory online age verification on everyone while also banning encryption. The last thing we n

The problem is that "what's right for children" should be better parental controls, and better enforcement of treating self-declared ages under 18 separately. Instead, the New Mexico AG and other assholes believe it means we

The other answer is that the people creating these ads have the resources to continuously try and bypass filters/moderation.

That's how members of the UK government refer to anyone that supports privacy and encryption

And that should be highly illegal to demand that a user submits to age verification.

The EU app is still shitty and unfixable, because it requires that you send personal information to a third party. The only acceptable and privacy respecting option is self declaration, which doesn't need any ZKP or any other bullshit.

That's a false equivalence. The only thing we should be doing is tackling addictive algorithms for everyone, and providing purely optional parental controls that are disabled by default.

That's a false equivalence and you know it.

The current version of the API seems to allow for that to be a requirement already, as part of the "ageRangeSource" field: https://developer.android.com/google/play/age-signals/unders...

Signal would rather tell a government to fuck off than implement any sort of client side scanning.
