I don't like Apple, nor do I use any of their products, but as someone from the UK, I do respect them for doing this. Now if only the other companies who said they'd leave would grow a backbone...

Which party do you think passed the "Tell us your password or go to prison law" to begin with? (Hint: It certainly isn't Tory.) It's also one of the reasons why I will never vote Labour as long as I live.

The following sites and services have stated that the Online Safety Act 2023 is the reason for their closing, or for geo-blocking UK users.

I haven't watched TV in 19 years. Why should I have to fund the BBC via taxes? I left school in 2003, but at least with things like education I'd be funding the young minds of tomorrow, or making sure people have adequate healthca

I've always hated the concept of copyright in the sense that nobody should be making money off work they did - for example - 30 years ago. Nobody else has that luxury. They have to drag their ass out of bed and justify their existence

As someone from the UK, which is where this article is on about, it is not illegal in this country for minors to see pornography in and of itself. Selling it to, etc. obviously are.

The UK still loves nebulous laws, I see.

I'm not sure if I'm the outlier in this regard, but in my case, I simply stopped watching YouTube. (Good job, Google!) I have been using Piped to watch a few programming related videos, though.

I see. That said, continuous RAM scanning would be incredibly resource intensive.

On the topic of scanning a device for CSAM, even if this were extended to computers, and Microsoft/Linux/etc. coded it into the OS, how would this even work when it comes to RAM where an image isn't directly touching a hard d

You do realize that countries (Denmark, Sweden, etc.) used to legally make CSEM back in the 70s, right?
