The UK social media ban is coming.
That means every adult having to show their ID to get online.
Age verification puts privacy at risk. Curbs freedom of expression. And simply doesn't work to keep kids safe online.
The government needs to change course. But the clock is ticking.

@openrightsgroup “That means every adult having to show their ID to get online“ is quite obviously and provably wrong. It is, as you put it, a “social media ban”, not a requirement to show ID to get online.
Online and Social Media are not the same thing, one is a subset of the other.

@openrightsgroup yes - the harms are due to exploitative product design.
And yes, that is driven by the surveillance ads business model... But good luck trying to stop them using that. The only way past #bigtech product is around them.

@openrightsgroup your overlords want it if anything you should at least realize your opinion doesn't matter anymore your going to have to work around it cause its going to happen. move to reticulum eliminate the service provider and you eliminate the problem.

There are better ways to protect children online:
️ Tackle business models that reward engagement maximisation️ Restrict intrusive profiling and behavioural advertising️ Mandate giving people control over recommender systems and feeds️ Support social media models that put people in control #ageverification #privacy #freedomofexpression #onlinesafety #socialmediaban #ukpolitics #ukpol #digitalrights
I'd like to see anti trust enforcement that breaks meta/Facebook up. A bunch of the reported harms all involve zuckerberg owned services. Maybe things would be better if we got rid of him.

@_hic_haec_hoc @openrightsgroup yes that might be true for some, if they share sufficient features to be classed as social media in the same way.
It is probably hoping too much that the definition would have some nuance (recommender algorithms etc).

@patrickleavy @_hic_haec_hoc @openrightsgroup
Given that lobbyists are involved in writing the incoming rules, I suspect that we don't live in a world where nuance is on our side.

@crucialbreeze @openrightsgroup I am vehemently opposed to the OSA, but deliberately inaccurate sensationalist bullshit like this really doesn’t help 🤨

@openrightsgroup This act will conveniently make Mastodon and other non-major platforms effectively illegal in the UK.
Only the big ones will have the resources to implement this..
