🇬🇧 UK TO SOCIAL MEDIA: CRACKDOWN ON MEAN POSTS OR PAY UP! The UK’s Online Safety Act demands platforms tackle illegal content by March 2025—or cough up 10% of GLOBAL revenue. Because nothing says “safety” like fines. A key requirement? Hash-matching technology, which assigns digital “fingerprints” to images or videos. Platforms must compare uploads against a database of flagged content (like mean memes) and block matches. Instead of addressing real issues, the UK is wagging its finger at social media while ignoring actual accountability. Big Brother vibes, anyone? Source: BBC
