Both Houses of Parliament are on recess until 9 January and the dates for the next stage have not been announced yet.
</p><p style="max-width: 100%; font-size: 17.200000762939453px;" class="">Before the Christmas break, Lords debated the Bill during the Second Reading on 13 December. The full transcript of the debate can be found <a rel="nofollow" href="https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2016-12-13/debates/21321771-1932-4684-8088-F5F24B42FF73/DigitalEconomyBill" style="color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">here</a>.
</p><p style="max-width: 100%; font-size: 17.200000762939453px;" class="">During the debate, very few Lords raised concerns regarding data sharing issues and barely any mentioned online copyright infringement and the lack of thresholds for sentencing. The issue of age verification was more prominent in the debate. Lords predominantly enquired about enforcement of age verification, and only marginally about privacy issues related to it. (See <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.openrightsgroup.org/ourwork/reports/digital-economy-bill-briefing-to-house-of-lords" style="color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">ORG’s briefing</a> to the House of Lords before the Second Reading.)

As such, the age-verification regulator, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), will have the power to notify Twitter (and other social media sites) of accounts that need to be blocked. However, the BBFC has no specific power to enforce these notifications.
</p><p style="max-width: 100%; font-size: 17.200000762939453px;" class="">It appears that the Government expects Twitter, Reddit or Tumblr to block non-complying accounts within the UK voluntarily. This creates a whole lot of other issues. Because the social media websites will technically have no legal basis for blocking, no external way of appeal other than an expensive judicial review will be available.
</p><p style="max-width: 100%; font-size: 17.200000762939453px;" class="">Jim Killock looks at the issue of ancillary providers in more detail in his <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/2016/is-the-government-misleading-the-lords-about-blocking-twitter" style="color: rgb(65, 110, 210); max-width: 100%;" class="">blog</a>.

</p><p style="max-width: 100%; font-size: 17.200000762939453px;" class="">On the account of age verification and the issue of privacy protection, Ashton said that the Bill does not require people to surrender their personal data to pornographic websites.
</p><p style="max-width: 100%; font-size: 17.200000762939453px;" class="">This is correct because age verification can be administered by a third party provider who will not need to pass the data to pornographic publishers. However, plenty of harm can still be done if this data is accessed through age-verification service. The Bill in its current form does not address privacy concerns at all.
