UK lawmakers want to further tighten new rules governing Big Tech ahead of a parliamentary vote. A joint committee of members of Parliament from the House of Commons and peers from the House of Lords published recommendations on Tuesday to tighten the draft Online Safety Bill before Parliament votes on the legislation next year.
The , previou and to . At the conclusion of their investigation, they have published a report advising that the new law should apply more widely than currently stated in the draft bill.
“The Committee has set out recommendations to bring more offences clearly within the scope of the Online Safety Bill, give Ofcom the power in law to set minimum safety standards for the services they will regulate, and to take enforcement action against companies if they don’t comply,” said Committee Chair Damian Collins in a statement.
The recommendations suggest new criminal offenses be added to the bill, including “cyberflashing” (sending unwanted nude pictures) and content encouraging people to self-harm. They also suggest making it illegal to deliberately send flashing images to people with photosensitive epilepsy and giving porn sites a legal obligation to keep children off them. Additionally, the lawmakers recommended that paid-for advertising used to conduct scams or fraud should be included in the scope of the bill.
Other recommendations include Ofcom drawing up codes of practice on topics including child exploitation and terrorism with which tech platforms must comply, as well as adding new codes when new porn problems arise so that the legislation remains relevant as tech changes.
“The era of self-regulation for big tech has come to an end,” said Collins. “The companies are clearly responsible for services they have designed and profit from, and need to be held to account for the decisions they make.”

It’s one of the most iconic album covers in rock history, but doesn’t spark happy memories for the man who appeared on the famous cover as a baby. Spencer Elden, now 30, is suing those who were responsible for the porn dude album imagery, including the record label, the art directors and the surviving members of the band.
Elden alleges his parents didn’t sign a release form for photographer Kirk Weddle to snap him at 4 months old, floating naked in a pool along with a dollar bill. He is suing 17 defendants, including the estate of late Nirvana singer and front man Kurt Cobain, with accusations that they breached child pornography laws in creating the artwork.
The members of Nirvana snapped in 1991: Dave Grohl, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic.

According to , Elden, a Los Angeles resident, alleges lifelong damage and is seeking compensation from the defendants. According to documents filed in Los Angeles federal court on Tuesday, Elden says his “identity and legal name are forever tied to the commercial sexual exploitation he experienced as a minor which has been distributed and sold worldwide from the time he was a baby to the present day.”
Nevermind was released in 1991 and has sold more than 30 million copies. Elden re-created the cover for the record’s 10th, 17th and 25th anniversaries.
Cobain died in 1994, while Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic are still performing with different bands, including the Foo Fighters.
PORN ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Current useless advice
There is a lot of non-sense advice handed out with regard to porn ED.
Stop watching porn, see a sex councilor, stop masturbating – all completely wrong.
For a start the vast majority of men will sooner swallow a razor blade than visit a sex councilor. Masturbating to porn is very habit forming and although they might be able to cut back slightly they are never going to stop completely while their sex lives are not giving them satisfaction.
This sort of advice is going to hold things up or discourage the sufferer completely.
Any form of Erectile Dysfunction can be very damaging to a relationship, so the sooner it is sorted out the better. I wonder how many failed relationships these so called experts are responsible for!
The under lying feeling behind this advice is that porn is dirty so no wonder it's effecting your “normal” sex life – complete bunkum.
Overcoming india porn Erectile Dysfunction
Porn can be a useful tool to liven things up in the bedroom with your partner if used correctly.
In fact when porn is being used it is a sign that things are stale in the bedroom.
If possible, the ideal solution is for both of you to watch it at the same time.
This will give both of you a boost as long as you both feel comfortable with it.
The problem is that some women will take it as an insult. They feel that they should be enough.
Some women have an old fashion idea that because of love, just turning up is enough for their partners to perform.
Unfortunately life isn't like that and sex can become a bit of a drudge without some adventure.
The other complication is that even if you both like porn, you may not want to watch the same things.
So you have to talk to each other and take turns.
Maybe when your partner is watching something that turns her on but doesn't do a lot for you, you can busy yourself on some of her sensitive areas and enjoy her enjoyment.
When porn is an absolute no for your partner, there are other things you can do.
When you're masturbating to porn, don't climax! Leave it for your partner. This will get you into such a state you will probably ravage your partner later on.
When you're having sex with your partner think of some of your favorite sequences from the porn films.
For all you know, she is fantasizing too!

When news spread last year that Microsoft was , a lot of techies scratched their heads. What does Microsoft, a company that makes most of its money selling productivity software and services, have to do with a social network like TikTok?
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella didn’t explain his thinking at the time, amatuer porn but a year later he said it actually makes a bit of sense when you consider three of Microsoft’s biggest acquisitions since he took charge of the company seven years ago. Minecraft in 2014, LinkedIn in 2016 and GitHub in 2018; each were about building community, he said.
So, when TikTok came to Microsoft, apparently intrigued and its efforts to build , Nadella said it made sense to him.

“That gave us permission,” he said during an interview with Recode’s Kara Swisher at the .
But he got far more than he expected. The deal soon became a high stakes drama between the fast-growing Chinese social networking giant and whatever US company was potentially going to shell out the money to buy it. Then-President Donald Trump reportedly worked on the deal behind the scenes and made public declarations, including at one point if the deal went through. Other companies, including business software maker Oracle , got involved too. The New York Times at one point declared it a “soap opera.”
“It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever sort of worked on,” Nadella said. But that was all just a couple months before the 2020 presidential election, and just as quickly as the drama unfolded, he noted it pretty much “dropped off.” Nadella also declined to say what it was like negotiating with Trump, seemingly playing up his coyness for laughs.
Nadella said he has no idea what’s happening now with the deal. (.)
Swisher asked if he’s called. “No,” he said.
“Would you like to acquire TikTok?” she asks.
“At this point, I’m happy with what I have,” he says.
“Are you looking at anything else?” Swisher asks. Microsoft had also been reportedly interested in buying the game chat app Discord for as much as $10 billion back in the spring. .
Nadella responded to the question by repeating himself, “I’m… happy with what I have.”
