Having spent quite a lot of time with VR, most of, if not all that I've seen is that it's young kids that does the "virtual" "groping".

As for calling it sexual abuse, well that just shows just how sad and pathetic some have become and really needs to get a grip. (pun not intentional, lol).

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

If nothing is done to stop it, i'm sure that paedophiles will be all over it in order to meet young children to become sexual with them, but without the risks associated with trying to meet up with children in person.

Matthew Wright once made a suggestion that, in order to protect real children, sex dolls of children could be used to give child abusers sexual gratification.

It's also been suggested that paedophiles could be allowed to role play in strictly adult only rooms with childlike avatars in order to satisfy their perverted desires, to protect real children in the real world from sex abuse.

One problem that I can possibly see arising is that some could start by doing this virtually and it may encourage/lead to them progressing onto attempts to do it in real life.

Here is the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media, & Sport (Nadine Dorries) telling a Conservative MP (Dr Luke Evans) on his TikTok channel that she intends to make the British Internet the safest Internet in the world (amongst other things).

During discussions of this Government's intention to privatise Channel 4, it became clear thar she thought that it was funded by the TV licence and the taxpayer.

One of the aims of this law is to prevent children gaining access to Internet pornography, where other attempts have failed.

It looks like adults will have to verify their age through facial recognition, AI will then work out their age:

At least this part of the bill is something that won't affect Cableforum members :D

But every single one of us is in a protected group where actions against us are considered to be a hate crime.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

This attempt will completely fail as well.
The mere fact they think a few badly thought out laws will stop it shows how little they understand the internet and technology.

Really, and how exactly do they plan to force overseas porn sites to do that ...
(and of course, it will be inaccurate as well).

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

To be fair, the programme did highlight possible ways that children could try to circumvent this.

One of them was by the use of VPN's to pretend to be abroad, so I don't think that it will be the overseas porn sites who will be expected to implement this, they must be doing it some other way.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

Surely, this must demonstrate how futile this legislation would be if introduced. Hopefully, the sane politicians will kill this off.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
 

No matter how hard the Government try to appease the "offended for you" groups with technology the ordinary internet users will find a way to circumnavigate it. The more they announce about it the more people will look for ways around it. All this will do is piss people off even more.
