The unintended consequences of the Online Safety Act
Ironically, the Online Safety Act, and the way it was implemented last week, has made the online world decidedly more dangerous, and I need to belatedly share some of my thoughts on it.
Most people who knew about the Online Safety Bill would have been under the impression that it was about censoring harmful content on social media and implementing stronger age verification measures specifically for pornography sites. The idea would be that adults would provide scans of government-issued proof of identity.
