That said, you can install apps from anywhere on an Android device easy enough by not using the Google store.

Thanks, I have Android & if it's not on the app store it warns you that it may contain a virus.

The beginning of this programme talks about how children as young as 7 are being tricked into sending sexual pictured and within seconds they are posted onto child abuse websites. They say that the Online Safety Act won't stop this on it's own, but it will help:

Not sure if you're still talking about TikTok here. The link doesn't go anywhere either.

I thought TikTok has a zero nudity policy so not sure of your point without the proper links. But from what info I've read on FB it does get abused with weirdo's using breast feeding as an excuse to get their tits out. Very odd but there you go.

As for kids as young as 7, sending pics.. Well, when I was 7 I just wanted to play with my toy car. Goes to show just how backwards everything's gone if it is true.

It “may” doesn’t mean it does, so someone who adequately informs themselves can ensure they are downloading the exact same installer as the Google Play store in another country.

How does the Online Safety Act “help”. These are already crimes.

Do you believe every ad you see. Plenty of reasonable priced protection out in the real world . Vpn , malware, and viruses. Better to be safe than sorry

I think it's a pop up warning from my phone as opposed to an ad. Even anti virus services can miss some viruses, which would worry me.

Tik tok was included , but other sites were mentioned too.

Paedophiles trick children into sending pics that give them sexual gratification by pretending that they are playing a game. If they don't go far enough for their needs, they use deep fake technology to make it appear that they have. Some children from perfectly innocent material have been used to create child pornography too.

Just checked the link and it works for me on Chrome. If you can't get it to work I can find a link to where it came from.

She said because website owners are now required to proactively flag up innapropriate material and take it down and not just rely on people reporting it.

She said that the Online Safety Act will help because website owners are now required to proactively flag up and take down innapropriate/illegal material and not just rely on people reporting it (but when they do, this must also be acted upon).
