Ah ok. That makes sense where it came from then.

I think there was a lot of speculation and jokes about that’s what would happen next from people on here and other places.

They’ve said nothing of the sort.

With regards to this most people are just ignoring the law. VPN use has gone through the roof.

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
how much effort they put on showing the world the consequences of extremely stupid acts so the rest don’t have to do it.
Kinda sucks to be the world’s policy alpha tester though.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
You think given how well thought through this online safety act has been that they’ll understand that would be an issue and legislate accordingly?
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
How many small businesses can afford such permit? Hell, I’d argue that even bigger companies will have a problem paying for that.
Feature, not a bug.
They want people back in offices to help landlords and property prices. This way they can say that remote work is not banned and it’s just companies choosing not to buy a permit and offer it.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
Oh that makes it easier for the government.
Maybe that the end goal, force people back into the office by banning vpn

Next step: ban on remote work.
- Comment on UK Government responded to the "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Petition. 3 weeks ago:
What I don’t get is why it’s ok to view that at 18 but not at 17 years and 364 days. Surely just ban the site for everyone.
- Comment on UK Government responded to the "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Petition. 3 weeks ago:
For example, the Government is very concerned about small platforms that host harmful content, such as forums dedicated to encouraging suicide or self-harm.
So they’ve identified a problem with this type of content, and the answer is to put it behind an age wall. So is it a-ok for anyone over 18 to be encouraged to self harm or commit suicide according to the government?

This is a good point, however the me meme is comparing to 1996. I think there’s some way to go until it drops back that far.

It’s true that China’s co2 per capita has gone up sharply, however it’s still about 30% lower than the yanks. China is also dwarfing other countries with the amounts of renewable energy currently under construction globalenergymonitor.org/…/solar_wind_in_construct…

Should, not must. Like the highway code should rules and must rules.
- Comment on Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s 4 weeks ago:
The world has changed. I don’t think the lads mags of old or going to the one corner shop where you knew they weren’t going to bother checking your ID for a top shelf mag is going to cut it with teens who are used to 10 monster cocks gangbang pawg.

Hormones and porn addiction. You think a 16 year old who’s been watching porn for years is going to give it up over night?

I’m still good ta. But it might be ok for the person I was replying too. I assume that there’s been independent verification of their claims and we’re not just taking them at their word.

Are you happy with the company that makes the all and the 71960 partner companies with “legitimate interest” knowing where you are all the time too?

Surely it’s fraud. They say they’re going to recycle (presumably charge whoever they charge based on that too) then just dump it.
