- But what will happen next – and will it be debated?
A petition urging the government to repeal the new Online Safety Act has passed 300,000 signatures – just days after the new rules came into force.
The changes came into effect on Friday (July 25), and one of the measures included requiring UK residents to verify their ages before accessing websites with pornography or other content that could be considered harmful to children. This can be done by uploading a picture of yourself for ‘facial age estimation’ or a photo of ID.
