@Andy2sn @peterktodd In this case it is Apple as there is no law in the UK forcing Apple to have an OS level age verification

@peterktodd That’s the problem it’s not Apple it’s the British government
English
This is a really important point.
Apple has intentionally degraded the functionality of billions of dollars worth of phones for absolutely no legal reason at all.
That is sabotage and fraud, and Apple and Apple employees should be getting sued and charged over this.
No to Digital ID@NoToDigitalID
I will say this again.. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT IN THE UK ONLINE SAFETY ACT FOR OPERATING SYSTEMS LIKE iOS and LINUX TO ADD AGE VERIFICATION. IT IS NOT A LAW. THEY ARE LYING.
English
@AndyH_England @ReclaimTheNetHQ No they are not as the communications act states they are not liable for the content of any apps hosted on it's operating system. It will is also the responsibility of the site not the operating system to prevent the use of VPN to bypass the law
English
@stuj34 @ReclaimTheNetHQ Apple is liable for any app on its platform that breaks the new laws, and to prevent people from using a VPN to avoid verification. You need to understand liability law, and Apple is defending its business. In any case, I did not have to identify myself due to my Apple ID.

Apple just turned 35 million UK iPhones into identity checkpoints. Apple has, without warning, placed a gatekeeper on the devices of 35 million UK users who paid good money for full-featured smartphones and now find themselves holding something closer to a supervised children’s tablet...

@peterbladen @ReclaimTheNetHQ @UKLabour No it is Apple. Operating systems are not required to have age verification checks under the online safety act. OFCOM may expand it to cover them but the report is not due till 2027 so this is Apple going further than the law requires

@sparkyuk11 @ReclaimTheNetHQ No Apple has. Operating systems and App Stores are not required to have age verification checks under the online safety act. OFCOM may expand it to cover them but the report is not due till 2027 so this is Apple going further than the law requires

@ReclaimTheNetHQ Apple just complied with new UK law on restricting access to children. Blame UK Government not Apple.

@ReclaimTheNetHQ the UK government did this and apple has their hands tied

@shelleymonty1 @ReclaimTheNetHQ @AndRealisation No it isn't a law. Operating systems are not required to have age verification checks under the online safety act. OFCOM may expand it to cover them but the report is not due till 2027 so this is Apple going further than the law requires
English
@ReclaimTheNetHQ @AndRealisation Was on the phone to Apple all day yesterday as I can’t verify my age 🤦🏻♀️ they said it’s the governments legislation and it will be happening on all updates whatever phone you have eventually!

@ReclaimTheNetHQ Sadly, for your propaganda, Android and Windows will have to follow suit, as it is a UK law. If you do not comply, you're banned and fined 10% of world revenue. Neither Android nor Apple is going to fight that in court.

@billyk3vin @urtasteback Most likely reply.
"Thank you for your email. Please ensure the item is ready for collection and we will issue a full refund once the item is returned" so they would end up with nothing.
English
I could expand an email and say from a goodwill gesture being offered, they know you don’t know consumer law which puts you at a weakened stance. Know the laws and state that you are legally entitled to a FULL refund, don’t back down because these companies do assume you know nothing (:
English
@MinnOrchia @MForstater Well as they are campaigning on women's rights they don't need to be experts on gender dysphoria just the law as defined by the equality act
English
@MForstater So, I'm curious about something, Maya. Are "Sex Matters" experts in gender dysphoria and gender identity issues? What qualifications does your leadership team have in this field?
English
The Hampstead ponds case is back on!
💥As an expert charity it is arguable that Sex Matters has standing
💥The City's arguments on the merits were "brief and unpersuasive"
💥 Even if the original decision was out of time it is arguable that time limits should have been extended following FWS.
Sex Matters@SexMattersOrg
💥We’ve been granted permission to take a judicial review on Hampstead Ponds! We were initially turned down for judicial review after the City Corporation tried to get away without having to defend the lawfulness of its policy. Now the Court of Appeal has overturned that judgment, recognising that “expert charities” such as Sex Matters have standing to bring claims for judicial review and called the City of London’s arguments in defence of its “trans inclusive” policy “brief and unpersuasive”. We have increased our target to enable the next stage in this case. Thank you to everyone who donated to get us this far. Donate now: sex-matters.org/take-action/cr…

@SpookyTSnerd @simondale11 @daniellismore @vella111 five deaths in 2019–20, four in 2020–21, 22 in 2021–22, 10 in 2022–23, three in 2023–24 and two in 2024–25. If anything the numbers are coming down. Also only 6 out of the 46 had gender dysphoria noted as a factor.
English
@simondale11 @daniellismore @vella111 Are you thick. They can’t show the number is rising without using the numbers from before 2024 as a comparison.

46 British children have ended their lives since the UK puberty blocker ban. Labour, Wes Streeting and Terfs need to address this. Gender Critical hate kills children.

@KrankyClown @ZenkaiGoose I have a 1 gig internet, and consoles normally download around 10 MB/s using ethernet, Steam is almost full speed.
English
Hot Take.
Game Consoles should use ALL of my internet bandwidth.
How is Steam the only one capable of using my overpriced internet speeds?

Be honest because I’m trying to prove a point
Would you back your child or grandchild's decision to attend trade school rather than college?
English
@BrainSilly @SmilingDeceit @washdaddysball @Qveen_Potato It is almost like you have no idea how it would work. Firstly the male skeleton is not suitable for carrying a child (eg pelvis shape etc). Then you have the whole endocrine system which isn't setup to produce the hormones required to sustain a pregnancy.
English
@SmilingDeceit @washdaddysball @Qveen_Potato It's almost as if you have no idea how this surgery would work..
Tldr: womb transplants already use C-sections to prevent injury. The only real adjustment for trans women would be the blood supply, which is in a slightly different place.
English
Ayeeee some of you who want to give birth, transplants for those who want! 🏳️⚧️
Daniel Lismore@daniellismore
It looks like transgender people could be getting wombs after all. Doctors are working on it as we speak.

This ISN'T a Doctor Who episode by the way. It's something much rarer.

@jazzynaturist @minimalist2021 @LauraJedeed It wouldnt work as the majority of trans people either dont or dont want to pass and are male in appearance so they would have to have the "wrong gender"
English
@minimalist2021 @LauraJedeed sex was always inane as marker
unless you plan for everyone to be naked
gender is more practical
how do people appear
that’s purpose of ID
is this the person claimed standing in front of you

Effective tomorrow: all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are now invalid
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they go to the DMV (that most will need to drive to) and exchange their license for one with the wrong gender

@shanksizpony1 @BubblyIan @UKLabour The change in the energy price cap is influenced most by the wholesale gas price which is something no government can control as it is set by market forces and the standing charge goes toward infrastructure costs so how do you think they are supposed to bring it down?
English
@stuj34 @BubblyIan @UKLabour The figures in the illustration are the electric price in June 24 when this Govt took office and the price it will be 1 April. I have done 3 comparisons. The green levy is being transferred to Gen Taxes, and the standing charge is being raised.
Do your own figures tell me ?

You can’t trust Nigel Farage.
