A lot of government ministers like to just say random shit. It doesn’t mean there’s any sort of policy.

I can’t imagine Starmer really wants to piss off even more the electret right now. The online safety act has been hugely unpopular and the people they expected to cheer them on haven’t done so. Mostly because people with kids also want to access content without having to submit a licence. Also the general consensus that the checks are been performed by the lowest bidder and it’s only a matter of time before there’s a data breach.
