UK Online Safety Act | Tea App Leak | Face Scanning for Explicit Content

Today on the show, the team tackle two massive stories shaking the internet: the new UK Online Safety Act and the catastrophic Tea App data breach.First, we break down the UK Online Safety Act, a 268-page law that took six years to develop and has now sparked a surge in VPN downloads. We'll discuss the law's "legal but harmful" content provisions, its impact on age verification, and why the government may have underestimated the backlash. We'll also touch on Wikipedia's legal challenge and the growing divide between policymakers and tech engineers.Next, we spill the tea on the Tea App leak. This women-only dating advice app, designed to protect users, suffered a devastating data breach that exposed 72,000 photos, including photo IDs, and 1.1 million private messages. We'll explore the technical failures behind the leak, the potential for a class-action lawsuit, and what this means for the future of online verification.Join us as we explore these issues and answer some big questions: Does the Online Safety Act go too far? And are we to blame for sharing our sensitive information online?
