Two Tier Orwell strikes again
... through Online Draconian bill amendments
While we online were following the bunfight between Sharia Reform and the burgeoning Restore ... behind the scenes, the gummint was continuing it’s Online Draconian amendments. Will Jones at The Daily Sceptic has:
Even more censorship is on the way. The Government has announced plans to force AI chatbots to comply with malicious communications laws – and to give itself Orwellian powers to bring in yet more speech restrictions without Parliamentary oversight. Toby writes about the moves in the Telegraph.
The Government intends to bring forward amendments of its own to the schools Bill that will supposedly close a loophole in the Online Safety Act to make sure AI chatbots comply with Britain’s draconian censorship laws. That will mean that if Grok says something in response to a user prompt that breaches, say, the Malicious Communications Act 1988, which was designed to protect women from obscene phone calls, Ofcom can fine its parent company £18 million or 10% of its annual global turnover. Whichever is the highest.
Amelia, poor dear, is obviously looking at this askance but can’t see how the wooden Beloved Leader is going to enforce this in the US. And as for the “ban” on VPNs ... yeah? How?
