Pfft, sounds fake, next you’ll be telling me the Online Safety Act didn’t actually have anything to do with online safety

And that it’s not just an act!

Truth is likely, they want to know who you are when browsing but have no backbone to go after any large tech company.
I wonder how many people care enough to use VPN just to access Xitter.

This is particularly dumb because there’s a plenty long history of courts ordering sites to be blocked for piracy.

Labour government confirmed part of the American paedo cabal?
Oh wait, they already have been!

Also, we would greatly enjoy if Mr. Musk would come back and lecture every white person on how critical it is for them to overthrow parliament, or they will all be murdered by immigrants.

This reminds me of how Obama posted his hugely popular AMA on Reddit within a year of all the news coverage of all the sick and gross subreddits (pics of dead kids, jailbait etc).
Seems that if a site is big enough shit like this doesn’t matter.

which is why we’re discussing this on reddit? naw, it does matter, an it builds up into an undeniable train of gross that forces people to other means of communication. Bluesky and Lemmy aren’t perfect but they’re fantastic compared to the monied shitholes they’re replacing.

I suppose what I mean is that from a Government perspective, evidence points to all kinds of shit being forgivable if the platform is big enough.
Hell arguably, aside from replacing Digg, being the wild west of forums is what gave Reddit the volume of audience that would guarantee it the likes of Obama.
I know we’re not on Reddit now but the final nail in the coffin that got us all here was API changes to Reddit killing third party clients, not it’s history that came before that.

If they do figure it out their conclusion will be something like outlawing VPNs while handing more infrastructure to Peter Thiel.

No way they will ban VPNs as it will get in the way of businesses that rely on it / those terminally working from home

Obviously they’ll have a carve-out for businesses that apply for a VPN licence and have the other end of the VPN remain in the country. Not because they listen to the public saying that VPNs have legitimate uses, but because the megacorp they consult with before drafting the law says it’s the only legitimate use-case and has a VPN product they can sell to small businesses that can’t afford to wait for their self-hosted VPN to be certified by the one overworked civil servant who has sole responsibility for approving every VPN licence.

What would that even look like?
No two computers can talk to each other without an ISP intermediary?

The UK government certainly don’t know. I wouldn’t put it past them to do something stupid like banning it on the household level, which would really fuck things up for people who need to use VPNs for their job.
floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
They’ll ban it for private individuals and allow businesses to pay for a commercial VPN licence.
