I'm not aware that there have been any Orwellian fantasies put forward by France or the UK. It was simply a joke.
If a country became so strict with it's citizens as to make them use a webcam to see if under 3's were watching the television (not that I think that France would do this) then covering up the webcam would probably result in a visit by the sectet police!

The Online Safety Act dictates that search engines, messaging services, video sharing platforms and sites that have user generated content are required to have safeguards to protect children from extremist & terrorist content. Fines of up
18 million pounds can be levied on those who fail to do so.
Dr Moses Ashafe from Ofcom is a Principle Officer overseeing online hate and terrorism.said that they will have much more resources next year to disrupt or block services if needs be.
This programme says that websites have been given access to key phrases in order to flag up innapropriate material.
It also says that a significant number of people who post such material are neuro diverse eg autism.
I think that those who post inappropriate things on the internet as a result of neuro divergence should be offered help as opposed to being punished for it.
If not, it would be akin to charging someone with mobility problems for causing an obstruction!!
