UK Expands Online Safety Act to Mandate Preemptive Scanning of Digital Communications
A major expansion of the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA) has taken effect, legally obliging digital platforms to deploy surveillance-style systems that scan, detect, and block user content before it can be seen.
The UK’s cyber laws all feel like the government hates the people and wants to abuse them as much as possible.
They do. Politics is ruled by a breed of people that will sell their souls to the highest bidder, and so data-hoarding shitstain companies get to push deeper and deeper intrusions into our lives. By 2030 we need to have a booming industry in wicker baskets and large blades.
