"Not sure I fancy the government knowing about what I look at or watch. How does everyone else feel? Will Fab be affected and what VPN will you be using?" Which section or clauses are you referring to? The bill is to protect children. Government already have a range of powers they can use, including requiring your ISPs to handover logs of all your online activity. If you want to do illegal activities online, then laws that will help the authorities track you down seem reasonable to me | |||

"Most VPN providers will immediately roll over on you as well " It’s kind of hard with irreversible encryption, though not even the USA could crack WhatsApp or ToR. They could possibly require them to switch it off for like telegram, but I can’t see that happening. | |||

"I'm not keen and I don't agree with the idea that if you're a not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear. That only applies if the definition of 'wrong' remains constant. " At least one sensible answer. | |||

"Crikey, I thoughts swingers site might be a bit more understanding of the need for privacy without jumping to 'doing something illegal' line. " Rights come with responsibilities, this is a fundamental concept regarding rights. If you want to do things online and hide them from the authorities, then you have a responsibility to not break the law. I’m still not sure what part of this act people are worried about under RIPA- Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, there has to be a reasonable suspicion you are doing something illegal before ISP’s will handover your data | |||

"I think it is a very disturbing trend and I honestly believe that once this has been fully implemented it will be expanded upon to the point where you can't do anything online without it being recorded somewhere, in even more granular detail than it currently is. Imagine a future where we end up with some horrible party in power from the extreme ends of the political spectrum (not hard to do right now) who have access to this information and how they might choose to use it. I don't understand why so many people are fine with it and just spout out the usual "If you are not doing anything wrong etc" or "I doubt they would find me that interesting" excuses." Who is recording what I do online? 🤔 | |||

"Crikey, I thoughts swingers site might be a bit more understanding of the need for privacy without jumping to 'doing something illegal' line. " Not sure that there's many actual "swinger's" on here. Most seem to be cheating and playing behind a partner's back. Hence why many are worried about privacy. | |||

How can I be manipulated and what benefit would it be to any government to know that I swing and watch porn? 🤔 | |||

I totally agree with you the Nativity of some people is very disturbing. This is a perfect tool to manipulate people in which ever political power decides to use it." Firstly what you look at and when is tracked and available and already being used and sold by browser technology amongst other things. They know when women's periods will be and when to offer products as one example. They know who is in your house and what you are doing from electric and water usage. Secondly it's not so much the fact it's presenting unknown entities with opportunities to manipulate... But it's the fact it can't be guaranteed to be held securely and not abused by those we are providing it to and the complete lack of privacy. What are you worried about if you're not being dodgy...? Plenty. The public gets what the public wants. Ultimately the trade off between convenience and privacy and security has been won by convenience. | |||

"It's odd that members of a site who knowingly share intimate images of themselves with strangers and then arrange to meet said strangers would be so concerned with the privacy of their online browsing. Might just be me 🤷🏼♂️" Well one is a choice they make who they share it with and meet. And one is no choice at all and with no idea who they are sharing it with, for how long and with what consequences. Not hard. | |||

Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a wwarning instead it's being used as a blue print for modern society. The psy-op lie is that all of this is done for your own safety. Anyone believing this is already lost. In fact I bet they are the people who were quite happy to be put under house arrest for two years, wearing face masks and rubber gloves when they were allowed to go exercise. Killed all the natural bacteria on their skin with sanitisers and rushed out to be injected with an experimental, untested gene therapy treatment because they were told it was for their own good by people in authority. Look up Stanley milligrams 'Adherence to authority' psychology experiments and you understand they know exactly what makes people tick and how yo control them | |||

Every bit of our freedom is slowly being eroded. Bit by bit. Stand up against it cus one day you’ll think of shit I can’t do anything. It’s the same with making cash digital.

It includes gambling, access to 18+ movies (vanilla, not porn), and many other things. I have to go through age ID verification to order coils and liquid for my vape. There will be thousands of people accessing 'adult content' through phones that don't watch porn or swing. The fact someone has that content unlocked on a phone means nothing. 🤷♂️ | |||

"I’ve not read all comments, but as I’ve read the worrying thing is these third party companies set up to do age verifications have not been checked and there is nothing in place in uk to make sure they are keeping your data safe. I see another Ashley-Maddison scandal coming along with another well known site that got hacked. Given I've had to provide a sum total of zero personal info to access Fab and the hamster.......and therefore there's no data to keep safe......what exactly am I at risk of being leaked? Being on here isnt illegal. Watching porn isn't illegal. The comparisons being made to a leak from a website that's sole purpose was to facilitate cheating on partners are hilarious. I suspect many of those worried about potential data leaks are also now boycotting Coldplay gigs.....🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂 Yep. I literally turned WiFi off (amazingly despite being ancient I knew how to) and accessed the site. It's possible I suppose that phone providers might be required to tell the govt who has adult content enabled on their phone and that information might be used against me at some point. If it comes to that I reckon there will be worse things to worry about But 'adult content' is a broad spectrum. It includes gambling, access to 18+ movies (vanilla, not porn), and many other things. I have to go through age ID verification to order coils and liquid for my vape. There will be thousands of people accessing 'adult content' through phones that don't watch porn or swing. The fact someone has that content unlocked on a phone means nothing. 🤷♂️" Exactly! I honestly don't understand why people are getting themselves bent out of shape over this On the one hand we have people baying for blood shouting "protect our children" and on the other complaining that their freedoms are being eroded because of a piece of legislation designed to protect children. 🤷♀️. Sometimes I wonder if it's me | |||

"I do find it odd some of these comments, from people who possibly have most of their life / personal details on a smart phone. I said when they first came out that this could end up like big brother in a tiny box and it seems it is for a lot of people and yet people are incensed because they have to verify your age so it makes things a little safer for kids. Most odd. Agreed, and it's not just porn, it's any content that children and vulnerable people could be at risk of harm from modern kids are far smarter with technology than the older generations because they have grown up with it. Are you honestly telling me that an adult that grew up in the 70s,80s can come up with a tech system that modern kids won't find a way to bypass. I don't think they are smarter at all. They share their person data with anyone and anything. They are able to navigate modern tech more easily but that doesn't make them smarter. " Also navigating it and designing it or coming up with work arounds are two very different things | |||

"Here's a radical idea why not put restrictions on the content of these sources of media not the people who use them. I'll tell you why it's because a high percentage of them are owned and have been owned throughout history by a certain religious community that you're not allowed to criticise. " Bing pot | |||

"It’s started already you go try and remove a large amount of money from your bank " That has always been like that, I was questioned in the 90's of why I wanted to take a large amount of cash out of my bank. At the time I told them it had nothing to do with them and just to give me my money, but now I would think differently because of all the scams going on and they may be saving me from being duped ![]() | |||

"I can't believe so many people are arguing against a system that will at least stop some under 18s from accessing porn. 🤦. " I don't think they are arguing against the principle...which has long been needed. But it's the way it's being implemented that is a legitimate cause of concern and a disaster waiting to haopen | |||

"It's odd that members of a site who knowingly share intimate images of themselves with strangers and then arrange to meet said strangers would be so concerned with the privacy of their online browsing. Might just be me 🤷🏼♂️ It’s all about choice, freedom of speech and freedom to live, you share what you want with who you want. It’s all about control. Every bit of our freedom is slowly being eroded. Bit by bit. Stand up against it cus one day you’ll think of shit I can’t do anything. It’s the same with making cash digital. You will be restricted where you can spend and how much. It’s started already you go try and remove a large amount of money from your bank " 💯 👍 | |||

At the time I told them it had nothing to do with them and just to give me my money, but now I would think differently because of all the scams going on and they may be saving me from being duped ![]() As someone who used to work in the industry cash withdrawal restrictions are there for three reasons alone. Fraud prevention, money laundering regulations and the simple fact that banks don't actually hold large sums of cash at any given time. 90% is in the ATM's for small sum withdrawal and for day to day cash requirements for local small businesses. Personal safety. It's to stop vulnerable people being scammed and/or forced to withdraw funds by others, often including family. Staff safety and security. Having shit loads of money sat around just in case someone walked in and asked for it increases risks. Hence you have to pre-notify and it's ordered in specifically for a pre- arranged collection. But of course there's always some that think it's about 'control' and some kind of hidden government agenda. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ | |||

I mean....the BoE has repeatedly stated that cash will never disappear even in the event of potential central bank digital currencies. Yes rich people have money. They always have. And yet we all still get paid, have access to cash, can spend our money on whatever we choose. I have an amazing collection of random ducks and not once has anyone tried to stop me buying another one. I shop where I want, when I want. I had my car washed for the first time I months yesterday and by some small miracle managed to withdraw a crisp tenner from a cash point (no charge) literally minutes after using my card to but a couple of drinks. I then sat in the car whilst it was being washed and logged into Fab without having to prove my identity to anyone, safe in the knowledge that my online activity wouldnt be the topic of conversation in some ministerial meeting in London. I'm always confused when people tell me my freedoms are being eroded and that I'm not able to make my own choices in life. 🤷♂️ | |||

"The issue with this Bill for all of us as UK subjects is not the tiny bit of it that protects children, which everyone but the most deplorable people of our society, automatically agrees with but moreover Section 179. Section 179, if anyone is not aware of the details (I suspect on here that is many) needs your urgent attention. In a nutshell it makes it a criminal act to send or post any communication with any inaccuracy. Now it doesn't take a genius to work out how and/or whom will actually define whether someting is deemed "inaccurate". So every single thing you now send or post you MAY be committing a criminal offence. If thus deemed. I'm sure you can see the path this Bill is intended to take. And this explains why there is so much kick back against it currently. But, hey, its only for the good of the kids. Right? - Charles https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/50/section/179 " 👍 | |||

"This is the wording 'the message conveys information that the person *knows* to be false' Exactly that. That is the wording that should concern us all." Or people could just not post fake news, total BS and lies in a deliberate attempt to cause trouble. 🤷♂️ There's a huge difference between posting something in the full knowledge that it's incorrect or false information deliberately, and posting something in error or by accident. The former has been widely used, especially during elections, political campaigning and whenever there's a big story in the news. Anything that has a positive effect in reducing misinformation is fine with me. | |||

"I think it is a very disturbing trend and I honestly believe that once this has been fully implemented it will be expanded upon to the point where you can't do anything online without it being recorded somewhere, in even more granular detail than it currently is. Imagine a future where we end up with some horrible party in power from the extreme ends of the political spectrum (not hard to do right now) who have access to this information and how they might choose to use it. I don't understand why so many people are fine with it and just spout out the usual "If you are not doing anything wrong etc" or "I doubt they would find me that interesting" excuses. I totally agree with you the Nativity of some people is very disturbing. This is a perfect tool to manipulate people in which ever political power decides to use it. Ok. I'll play along. How can I be manipulated and what benefit would it be to any government to know that I swing and watch porn? 🤔" I did reply but placed a link to a very informative blog from a porn site that explains in detail the issues that this new overarching piece of legislation does. The book: Surveillance Capitalism is worth a read, hope I have not offended or violated any rules for mentioning the book. Otherwise there are plenty of articles in places if one is genuinely interested in the sinister implications of this new law. | |||

"It's to keep kids safe.... Yeah of course it is, nothing to do with Kim Jon Starmer denying your civil liberties 🤣" Whaaaaat! No way is anyone going to make any money out of this or handover a bunch of their personal data... That's not the intention at all. Won't somebody think of the children.! There's 3 things that cause people to cease all clear thought... Children... Baby animals... And free sex. | |||

"Twitter could be fooled on the first day by simply switching your location on your account details. But now it appears that if you wish to go through their age verification process you have to sign up to their premium service at £11 a month. X hamster on the other hand is a simple AI face recognition age determination, no ID required. " Im not premium but can still see the naughty stuff i did before 🤔 | |||
