Let’s face it, Starmer’s tongue is shoved so far up Trump’s fettid arsehole, he can taste his mouthwash. Trump only has to tweet about it and that spineless twat will capitulate and make it the government’s most important mission to ensure “international cooperation”, or some BS.
Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene
Part4@infosec.pub 1 day agoIf you are not in the UK, this shit UK law doesn’t affect you in any way. 4chan will just be blocked by UK ISP’s, and people will put up proxy sites that will get regularly block blah blah blah like thepiratebay.
Unless the shithead Trump, whose voted-for-twice America actually could do with being isolated from international life, intervenes and our pathetically weak government yet again fails to stand up for itself.

If Europe and others don’t pull away from the US as quickly as is possible, surely we are going to be sucked further into the abyss of authoritarianism.

But it does effect everyone. Don’t you think the lack complete backlash to the online safety act is emboldening similar ideas in the rest of the world, especially the EU? Yes, we’ve stopped chat control like 2 or 3 times already, but it’s being brought up again now.

Every Western country is moving towards authoritarianism. Characterising this as a British only thing is nonsense.

But ideas are cheap, of course every government has thought and dragged ideas about this before. But implementing them is costly, so letting another government go first, working out the kinks, getting case studies for what kind of messaging works, what tech is required, and seeing what the backlash looks like, makes the second go a lot easier and cheaper.
