“That means being able to act quickly on measures like setting a minimum age limit for social media and restricting features like infinite scrolling that are harmful, in line with the consultation. The law is crystal clear: the distribution of nude images of children is already illegal. But the government will also consult on how best to ensure tech companies can safeguard children from sending or receiving such images in the first place.”

@alecm as always – good intentions, but slightly concerning wording. Sounds like primary legislation aimed at allowing government to “act quickly”, so no doubt quickly make secondary legislation. The whole “act quickly” can mean lack of consolation and debate and hence badly worded laws. It is easy to see someone’s home mastodon instance suddenly subject to complex laws on a whim with no notice.
