James BakerThe legal but harmful part of the online safety bill hasn’t been dropped for children. So the only way Labour could toughen the bull is either reintroducing the clause for adults, or more worrying regulating VPNS as they tried to start doing with one of their amendments to the bill https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jan/01/labour-pledges-toughen-online-safety-bill #onlinesafetybill #privacy
Alexi Charles@JamesBaker @jeffjarvis Good to bust the algorithms that mess with people’s minds. Probably needs to be done directly with companies concerned. Facebook, TikTok etc. Not the fault of VPNS?
