The UK’s tortured attempt to remake the internet
In no particular order:<p>Age checks for porn sites: seems like if parents care about this, there are plenty of technological ways to restrict their children&#x27;s access? Is there a gap between what&#x27;s available as a technological intervention and parents&#x27; want?<p>Measures to clamp down on “anonymous trolls” by requiring that services give the option for users to verify their identity: for minors it seems like parents could restrict access to websites via technical means, for adults... don&#x27;t use the website&#x2F;app?<p>Criminalizing cyberflashing (aka the sending of unsolicited nudes via social media or dating apps): as long as this parallels in-person flashing law, this seems reasonable?<p>Cracking down on scam ads: not sure what this means, but fraud is fraud whether it&#x27;s on the internet or not. This feels like more outsourcing of law enforcement to companies. If there are complaints about scam ads, then law enforcement should investigate, with subpoenas if needed, and prosecute. Does there need to be a separate law for this?
