Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones

What a joke world we are living in. UK is getting too crazy with their "protection children" and introducing age limits by people providing their password and IDs. And chat control. And now this again, blocking these pictures would require massive privacy issues and closed source operating systems that will lock the user down like North Korea.

What makes it worse is that the legislators are technologically illiterate. I don’t expect politicians to be experts in everything, but I do expect them to listen to experts.
Take chat control, for instance. Experts said that it would end up being harmful because the more legit sites would implement age controls, and that this would drive traffic to the less legit sites that aren’t implementing such controls — sites where there’s a much higher likelihood of harmful content like revenge porn, non-consensual porn, etc…
And then when the completely predictable consequences of chat control arise, then the legislators have the audacity to be like shocked-pikachu.jpeg. And then they continue to ignore the experts and ask stupid questions like “how do we ban VPNs?”

200% agreed! They have no fking clue what the hack those "legislators" or "regulators" are doing. Have zero technical knowledge and they think you can breach encryption or something. Its simple a lot of incompetence and I hope they get punished by it.
