Wtaf. This is effectively legalising neglect. I've worked with people who had profound cognitive impairments and they may not be able to say (e.g) "take me to the park", but you can see from their reactions/expressions once there how much they enjoy it. They know the diff btwn free & shut in.
Please send me any and all stock images you've seen which are just nebulously newsy words clumsily rendered as a key on a computer keyboard. Feel like I've seen thousands of them over the years, and this is a beautifully stupid example of the genre.

Internal Home Office tests of age-verification technology show the risks of life-altering errors. It’s moving forward anyway.

Court cases, think-tank connections and opaque funding streams reveal how a Christian pressure group has become a central player in the UK’s culture-war politics.

Scientists have discovered a tiny blue octopus lurking beneath the waters near the Galápagos Islands.
About the size of a golf ball, the newly identified deep-sea species was found nearly 1,800 meters below the surface during an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.

This is horrifying. It classes disabled people as not fully human, because it is saying that they cannot ‘feel’ the same way as an able bodied person would in the same circumstances.
