Alec MuffettI think it's pretty safe to say that the technical & operational impossibility of #PedoClippy the magic nudity detector that #KierStarmer wants embedded in every extant camera & in every online device, is going to seriously damage if not sink his premiership. #Clippy
jon crowcroft@alecmuffett last time around this was stymied by things like NHS advisory sites and legit sex education content - actually, i went to see the musical hair in 1968 (my 11th birthday) which includes full cast naked scene. i don't think that turned me into the depraved loon I am today (no, that was margaret thatcher did that)...
Steven Reed@tforcworc @alecmuffett I'm sure the resurgent far right is fully up for making sex education inaccessible, sadly :(
kkarhan@alecmuffett why do we allow #TechIlliterates to regulate #tech?
- We don't let randos decide upon patients' care in a hospital either…

Starmer passes fascist spy legislation and then reform run with it for all it's got. Wise governments only pass legislation that their enemy opposition can't exploit if in power.

Owen Blacker@NMBA @alecmuffett It's a very long time since a British government could have been described as wise.
Fish Id Wardrobe ⁂@alecmuffett supposedly – *supposedly* – the tech already exists. earlier today the Guardian article mentioned a company called https://safetonet.com/; *supposely* they have a phone "for children" that does this. the current article doesn't mention them.
