Not only that but the gov have to attack experts opposing it in a way that looks bad, i know the gov have to defend the OSA but responding to someone by calling them “this self proclaimed expert” gives of insecurity, i’ve never seen a policy defended so childishly, it’s like they know it’s bad but can’t say it https://www.thenational.scot/news/25359480.age-verification-used-right-online-safety-act/
