We need to mock the British more, they don’t get anywhere near what they deserve.

The empire where the sun never sets… except digitally…
Also, make sure you pay your TV licence!

Having seen the utter shit other countries have on TV, the licence stays.

Don’t worry. It’s just a couple of bots arguing with each other or an ad. You aren’t missing much.

Did something happen to UKs internet?
King@blackneon.net 11 hours ago
UK now requires a lot of websites to age check their users.
What happened is that a lot of websites either had to implement a way to check users ages or block users from UK completely.
A good example here is Imgur which blocked UK users. What inspired this meme for me is this blog post posted on Hacker news.

Meanwhile 4chan ignored it. Got a fine and laughed. Then as far as I can tell, nothing happened. They are not going to pay the fine because why the fuck would they? 4chan still works just fine in the UK, you don’t even need a VPN.

I’m not convinced this is the reason for the Imgur block. They were asked by the UK about how they processed the data for minors at the start of the year. They refused to provide it, and were then fined. When the age check was implemented I think they used that as an excuse to block the UK, so they “weren’t operating in it” and didn’t need to answer the questions.
The UK gov disagrees with that and is planning more legal action iirc.
If they had done the block without that law, people would be asking why they were not revealing how they process data of minors.

oOOH they LIKE that! “How old are you child? Are you 7? 8? 9? Because if you’re 18 we are not interested. There is no way this can backfire, see, come here why don’t you give me your data and your mobile phone number. Are you old to have a government ID yet?”

Imgur blocking is a bit of a pain - half the mods in steam are missing images in their description.
The online safety act also means we get to submit ID to view anything construed as “adult”. Very “av you got a loiscencse for that” these days without a VPN.

Every morning I scroll through memes and they are all the same. I just wonder why does this one get so many up votes. I don’t get why it’s so popular. Image
