It was well intended, but the law that provides for adult age legislation, and a number of other platforms caused a return response from both Internet users in the country, as well as US politicians and technological giants.
Last month, new provisions in the Internet law require that large internet platforms implement age checks to avoid access to children from pornographic and relevant material.
The measures have brought Pornhub, Redtube and other porn -sites to force UK visitors to subscribe and check the age to access their services.
What is the Law on Security on the Internet?
Overall, the Law on Security on the Internet is a law that imposes the duty to care for firms on social media and other content created by users to ensure that they take responsibility for downloading and extending to their platforms.
In particular, the legislation is aimed at preventing the impact of children on pornographic content and material that promotes suicide, self -proprietary damage, food violations, or offensive and hateful behavior.
The rules are perennial and have encountered many delays in their development – not least because of the concern that it can violate the right of Internet users to privacy and lead to censorship.
Why did this lead to the backlash?
Recent measures have been imposed to ensure children is unable to view harmful and inappropriate content.
However, they have led to Internet complaints with the requirement of the need to share personal information, such as their ID, credit card details and selfies -in some cases for platforms that cannot even claim porn -rests.
Spotify, Reddit, X and a number of other platforms introduced their own age check systems to stop users under the age of 18 from consumption of obvious content.
In the future, these steps have led to virtual private networks providers (VPNS) to report that their services that allow users to mask their location increases in the UK
Meanwhile, on Monday, Wikipedia struck a legal strike in the UK, as the Supreme Court judge ruled that the platform should be considered as a “category first” service subject to certain requirements for users’ check.
The Internet Security Law requires the first category platforms to offer users the ability to check their faces and access tools that reduce their effects on unverified users.
Wikimedia, the Wikipedia maternal company, has previously stated that it could limit the number of visitors from the UK to release it from the first category status.
American politicians weigh
A number of US politicians have undermined new rules in recent days. Last week, Vice President JD Vance – who previously criticized the UK Internet safety rules – again caused concern about the law, fearing that it could unfairly limit US technology companies.
“I just don’t want other countries to follow us, what I consider to be a very dark way to the Biden administration,” Vnes told reporters during a trip to the country last week.
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who also recently visited the UK, said in a statement after returning that sweeping security laws in Europe, have a “serious cooling effect on free expression and threaten the rights of US citizens and companies.”
There were assumptions about whether the US could push Britain to relax the rules during trade negotiations – however, UK officials say the issue is not open for discussion.
Can other countries follow the example?
Other countries are already adopting their own internet checking laws.
Both Australia and Ireland have taken similar age measures, while Denmark, Greece, Spain, France and Italy have begun testing the overall app to check the Internet users.
In the United States, Louisiana passed the law in 2022, demanding an age check on sites where at least a third of the content is adult, while several other states seek to adopt such legislation.
