Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine
veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoThe law was announced a long time before it came into effect,
Isn’t one of the basic principles of law that laws can not be made retroactive so as to arbitrarily extract punishment? if someone tells me “we’ll implement this law in 2026” and they do commit, then I’m unconcerned until 2025-12-31.

But if you break the law after on 2026 you don’t get any excuse for not having time to adapt to the new circumstances.

Eh, if it’s an unfair law it has to be fought. And since we have seen in Trump’s world the courts are not the place for that, I can think of very few places to do it. Most of them can equip guillotines, tho.
