Meanwhile, Across the Pond (For the Children Edition)

Watchdog will make apps use facial recognition and other age checks to identify children… The largest tech firms will face multi-billion-pound fines under the Online Safety Act if they fail to protect children and instead allow them to access harmful content such as porn, child sex abuse images and violence. [More]

So, they’ll have a database of identifiable faces that AI can morph into aging, at least until they don’t need to after such checks become mandatory renewal requirements for all…

Until someone else gets to.

Meanwhile, Across the Pond..

Become a vigilante to help us catch dangerous drivers, police tell public- Citizen detectives are being urged to film drivers tailgating, using their mobile phones at the wheel and not wearing a seat belt [More]

The Satanic Temple is taking on the Christian right. It’s fun to watch [More]

I wonder if Arwa Mahdawi and UK’s The Guardian would be as amused if the four loser Goths (and especially the morbidly obese hutt on the right who looks incapable of, uh, wiping) were “taking on” the Islamic State.

Now that would be “fun to watch.”

At least they know which rally to attend.

Speaking of Foreign Election Interference…

The left-leaning British Labour Party is sending nearly 100 members to U.S. battleground states to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the presidential election. [More]

First Amendment notwithstanding, how is this not that with election laws?
