Can we stop putting this site on the front page if it has geoblocking for certain locations? Or at least require an archive link with it?

Would we do the same for sites unavailable in North Korea? If your country is blocking sites, speak to your government about it.

  the country isn't blocking his site. his self-importance is. OFCOM doesn't give a shit about this blog.

    He does provide adult content on his site, to be perfectly fair.

    From others "Kyle has spent an insane amount of effort to get answers from OFCOM, got none, and as such blocks the UK for self-preservation. The UK wants to fine non-citizens for violating online purity rules, so this is the result" If he can't get an answer, then probably better to not get charged with something.

Can't you put archive.is/ in front of the url to get your own archive link? Or is that geoblocked too?

Blame your own government for trying to levy fines on non-citizens anywhere on the entire damn planet without explaining or justifying itself. Kyle has spent a lot of time and resources trying to talk to OFCOM. They won't give answers, so the only reasonable option is to block the UK. Which is the entire point of your laws. Blame yourself.

  Going to Uno Reverse that back to you - the current edition of "think of the children" is from organisations in the US pushing their agenda all over Get your own house in order (if you're from the US), and ironically, keep your nonsense within your own borders....

It also blocks IPs from states with age verification laws. I mean, okay, I respect the principle, but since there's very little I can do about the laws, and since there are exactly zero politicians who are going to fret because they can't visit aphyr dot com, it's a bit pretentious. So I guess I'll just k-line all aphyr dot com links in my filter and move on with my life. Everybody blocking everybody is how we win.

  The sooner, the better. The more quietly, too.
