The government's aim to block nude images would take away control over our devices. ORG's @JamesBaker explains that this is about mandating for all of us as adults to go through ID checks simply to unlock the actual use of our phone. Despite there existing ways for parents to protect kids already. https://peertube.openrightsgroup.org/w/2xsCd8sjXZQYgy17cu8phs #privacy #starmer #ukpolitcs #ukpol #ageverification

Image scanning for nudes 🤝 digital ID checks This will affect everyone. All adults will have to hand over their ID to turn off the blocks on their phone. But the scanning software will hang around. Something that could end up being used to censor much more. We can't allow this trojan horse tech. ORG's @JamesBaker spoke to TalkTV about the UK government's plans. https://peertube.openrightsgroup.org/w/6dYE596iFv5viV5QHemnR8 #censorship #ageverification #digitalID #privacy #ukpolitics #ukpol
