Propostas do Reino Unido proíbem crianças de redes sociais e VPN

Reportado por IA

Emendas propostas a um projeto de lei do Reino Unido visam restringir crianças menores de 16 anos de usar redes sociais e redes privadas virtuais para melhorar a segurança online. Especialistas legais alertam que essas medidas podem exigir que adultos passem por verificação de idade para serviços online cotidianos, potencialmente comprometendo a privacidade. As mudanças se baseiam na Lei de Segurança Online, que entrou em vigor em julho de 2025, mas tem brechas exploradas por usuários versados em tecnologia.

A Lei de Segurança Online (OSA) do Reino Unido entrou em vigor em julho de 2025, exigindo que sites impeçam crianças de acessar pornografia e outro conteúdo considerado perigoso pelo governo. No entanto, persistem desafios de aplicação, pois a verificação de idade por reconhecimento facial pode ser contornada com capturas de tela de personagens de videogames, e VPNs permitem que usuários mascarem sua localização para parecerem de países sem tais mandatos. Após relatório de queda de 77% nas visitas do Reino Unido a um grande site de pornografia, provavelmente atribuída a usuários redirecionando o tráfego, pares da oposição na Câmara dos Lordes introduziram emendas ao Projeto de Lei de Bem-Estar Infantil e Escolas.
