It's worse than that. The UK is actually criminally investigating anime artwork websites and raiding people for how lines and shapes are drawn.

Wasn't ZeroNet something like this before the developer vanished off the face of the Earth?

This was never about "protecting children." It never is. It's always about censorship and control. The only time politicians ever see children is when they can use them as a soapbox to push an agenda.

> They have surely ignored demands to censor Wikipedia in more authoritarian countries. What makes the UK different? Extradition treaties? Do they even apply here? The UK has the authority to arrest them (anyone who owns a website) if th

Wikipedia blocking the UK would also do that afaik. Honestly, they should just do so at this point.

I can't help wonder if the MPs are now "child abusers" for using VPNs based on what that idiot of a technology secretary said, or if it's just those who aren't MPs.

At which point you just get the usual stock response from their secretary which is basically no different than the response you get from the petition.

Some countries (like the UK) make it illegal to draw things. Hell, the UK are currently criminally investigating anime artwork websites.

People in the UK generally believe that the only people who use Tor are those looking for child pornography, even though it's an anti-censorship tool. I'd be careful if I were you. The police could use that as an excuse to raid yo

Online petitions aren't worth the paper they're written on. If people want change, they'll need to find alternative avenues. (Like civil disobedience.)

They actually have the power to arrest them - or have them arrested - if they ever visit the UK, though. Especially if they refuse to block stuff or if Ofcom feels that they didn't do a good enough job of censoring content. This is one

I like Solo (Sudoku), but that's hard to play on my phone sadly. I end up doing hard modes of Flood and Signpost a lot, though.

Yeah. They left unencrypted child (benefits?) information on a train once.

Vivaldi has the ProtonVPN extension built in. All you need is a free Proton account.

The Labour party want to criminalize VPNs, so it won't surprise me if they do.

What saddens me about the UK geoblock notices is not a single one of them refers to the UK as Airstrip One.

> CSAM have no place anywhere The fact that a drawing can be "CSAM" is ridiculous, frankly. Why shouldn't taboo be explored in fiction? (Manga, Visual Novels, etc.)

Sounds like they're stealing ideas from the UK playbook.

Petitions don't work on the whole. afaik, they exist to the give the public the illusion that their opinion matters. A slightly cynical take, but accurate none-the-less.

There's actually a solution to this problem which I stumbled on a few days ago. Obviously we cannot allow backdoors, and people should have their stuff encrypted, and if the UK's authortarian government wants to know what's b

Sadly, the UK has never been a big fan of warrants. Not surprising that the British population are supporting this news of "warrantless searches" either.

I wouldn't vote for Tory either. I usually vote for Lib Dem. Though they do things from time to time I don't like...

This is one of the reasons why I will never vote Labour. The UK has always hated not allowing people to self-incriminate, though...
