Social media companies must prevent online abuse against women and girls or face jail time and fines, under a proposed change to a government bill. Online abuse against men and boys is perfectly fine and should remain legal.

They are constantly doing this sort of thing now. They could have simply made it a bill to prevent online abuse. Period. They are so blatantly sexist, and exclude all men.

My prediction is that the greatest perpetrators of abuse towards women will be .......other women.

I’m already tired of reading the needlessly long phrase ‘women and girls’ because of my polisci book. It’s really distracting to read such awkward language when ‘females’ or ‘women’ is perfectly fine.

Female is a bad word now. Just let that sink in to show you how goofy and paradoxical the present zeitgeist is. How can you promote feminism and condemn the term ‘female?’

I don’t care if text reads ‘men and boys’ instead of just ‘males.’ In fact, the former is rather creepy.

Aside from the obvious bias that is impossible without implementing strict authoritarian measures on the platform. Because nowadays anything can be construed as harassment.

I guess the Future is Female, if it's legislated.

Good luck passing that bill. If you penalize companies like that you simply discourage them to invest in your country.

The extension of female privilage appears to be without end

For people who want to defend freedom of expression then Open Rights Group in the UK are pointing out the flaws of the bill https://www.openrightsgroup.org/campaign/stop-state-censorship-of-online-speech/

The big issue is the censorship will be done by AI algorithms that will get things wrong. It could well be used to silence anyone critical of feminism and there is no right to appeal when you have been wrongly censored in the bill.

I hate the people running the government and ruining my country.

This is just legalised sexism.

Eastwood96 · 2023-05-17T14:38:31+00:00

Of course, why would WE matter??!

The Karens are trying to take over the government to stop the rest of us from laughing at them and their histrionics.

Government of course doesn't give one shit about how they get more power, only that they do.

If you haven't figured it is a pretext for government control and censorship being imposed under the guise of protecting women and girls. The vast majority of online social media platforms are willing and cooperative. Western media outlets are pushing an agenda of control and censorship since they're being financed by the same donors that lobby governments. It's all collusion and corruption that's permeating through society. Fcuk BBC and the many western outlets.

VermilionScarlet · 2023-05-17T15:18:49+00:00

Bit odd, seeing as men are harassed more online than women.

They allow women to post they pussy prints, ass and titties. But don't want people harassing them. I don't harass women but it's like women want a reason to complain or just to start a fuckin movement. I'm tired of this shit. Men can't post shit damn near unless you sell your soul and become gay. That shit ain't coo yo.

ERiC_693 · 2023-05-17T02:56:16+00:00

"The bill also includes tools that will give women, and all adults, greater control over what they see on social media, including content that is abusive or incites hatred on the basis of sex."

Sounds like it might be gender neutral. The issue is nowadays we know anti maleness is spreading through unis and pop culture. Theres no doubt so i fail to see how a law could be sexed even if its intended for females its crazy to have lobsided law.

PMyourDnDfeat · 2023-05-17T05:25:26+00:00

Didn't this just get posted?

It fails some fundamental checks and balances which the UK require for Judges to uphold the law, and as such would not get very far in most cases... ie, the courts will order the government to obey the law that came before it, the higher principles the law is based on and the equality and human rights legislation which much be used as a lense though which all other laws must been seen.

Lol. Online abuse. Just log off or block people. Fr.
