@andrewpakes.bsky.social You didn't reply to my mail in August however on Dec 15 you have a chance to win some good will with your constituent
Age verification exposes us to unacceptable risk of data breaches. Users must often share sensitive personal data, such as government IDs or biometric information, with private third-party age verification vendors and Age verification is usually tied to an account, meaning if you don’t want to have to verify every visit you must now sign up and log in to access adult content. The Online Safety Act effectively encourages creating accounts on multiple porn websites! These records become a liability in the event the website suffers from a hack, potentially exposing the personal information and viewing history for users of that service. This has already happened to data stored with Discord, think centralised government ID solves this? Estonia lost 286,438 citizens data in a breach. https://therecord.media/estonia-says-a-hacker-downloaded-286000-id-photos-from-government-database Facial recognition is proven to be inadequate creating censorship. https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2024/NIST.IR.8525.pdf This means a significant number of adults attempting to access legal content will be incorrectly blocked and a significant fraction of younger teens could potentially be granted access to adult services while their parents are not watching them because they have been given a false sense of security that the state has their back instead of being encouraged to use the tools that are available to us. Age gates push citizens young and old to risk the least regulated sites, with the fewest safeguards, and therefore the places most likely to carry harmful or even illegal content. Educational and other legal content is already being blocked from citizens who should be entitled to view it. The act contains provisions that will mandate client side scanning of our encrypted communications. This means that big tech’s defective algorithm’s will run on your phone sending your private messages and sext’s to be manually reviewed. Oppose the online safety act if you agree that Police should continue to require a warrant to tap your phone. They call this “chat control” in Europe and they want to bring it here https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ Compliance demands drive out smaller communities and centralise control in large corporate platforms. This doesn’t just effect porn websites, compliance costs are forcing smaller services to shut down and future services will not exist to compete, locking in the internet's current course of enshitification. Privacy features available elsewhere in the world are not being launched in the UK thanks to our unwise approach to regulation. The Solution to protect children is improving sex and media literacy education. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31855489/ A digital bill of rights should give citizens of all ages protection from and control over targeted advertising and harmful algorithms.

@microsoft.com why isn't there a "no, leave me alone" option?
