Do people in the UK not use vpns? I feel like at this point a vpn is practically mandatory if you live in the UK, just like if you lived in Russia or China.

I think you'll find that if that our UK GDPR laws regulate none UK websites where under certain conditions, specifically if they offer goods or services to individuals in the UK or monitor their behavior within the UK. This means a company based outside the UK, even without a physical presence like an office or branch, can be subject to UK GDPR if they target UK consumers or track their online activity. It's a fine of up to 1% of revenue or a maximum £18 million pound fine if UK laws are breached. Do you think Mootsan has the money?

>>105589780
this isnt data protection regulations
this is the child protection crap

>>105589780
The UK doesn't have jurisdiction. The GDPR doesn't apply to the US. Issue whatever rulings you like. Come and try to enforce it. Zero cost to Americans. Saying "fuck off limey" is free.
Note the US even has laws explicitly protecting Americans against the UK's intrusive libel/slander laws (just as an example -- I know that doesn't directly apply here, but it illustrates we're sick of their shit); we're quite familiar with their eagerness to be the world's legal authority and we're quite accustomed to telling them to "kindly fuck off."

entire point of online safety bill was supposedly to go after facebook et al
instead the legislation is so wide-reaching that ofcom is going after every open forum threatening them with a fine thats a thousand times most of their annual revenues.
it directly benefits huge platforms like facebook and discord because they're the ones that can afford to play ball while average hobbyist forum risks an £18m fine if moderation doesnt catch someone doing a "hate speech" or whatever fast enough.

>Any site that allows users to share content or interact with each other is in scope of the Online Safety Act

the outcome of this remains to be seen but i would not be surprised if the majority of sites just block access from the UK preemptively while facebook et al do nothing and get away with it

>>105589812
gdpr applies to any company collecting uk/eu citizens' data, whether they like it or not
the point is protecting citizens' rights to privacy from foreign adtech companies
im not going to argue that its easy or even really possible to enforce gdpr
irrelevant anyway, as it is not what is being wielded here

realistically all 4chan and sites like it should have to do is provide a disclaimer warning visitors that they may encounter wrongthink and pornography, as is essentially already the case
instead the british government has got it into their head that anywhere anyone can post a comment online must not allow any kind of wrongthink or dissenting information, or face an enormous - if largely unenforceable outside the UK - fine.

now, as a brit, i would like to tell you all to kill yourself. especially americans.

perhaps the worst part of this is that now its been signed into law, little can be done about it
anybody attempting to make good changes would be committing political suicide

Under the UK Online Safety Act, "online services must assess the risk of UK users encountering illegal content and activity on their platforms, and take steps to protect them from it". I personally think Mootsan can demonstrate that illegal content is removed swiftly by the moderation team. This is just saber rattling by Ofcom trying to make it look like they're doing something whilst the real culprits, like some of the biggest social media sites, do sweet fuck all about the proliferation of CP and wrong think on their platforms. They can't go after them so they pick on the low hanging fruit. I've seen some sites stop access to UK registered IP addresses and that's probably the way things will go here.

>this is the child protection crap
Bollocks, this is state government whistleblower prevention with the facade of child protection. They've been pushing this in many states and it ALWAYS leads to things other than child protection.
In Australia they've already used similar laws in this way. It's utterly absurd how evil this is.

>think of the children!
>proceed to take irrelevant rights away and shut down whistleblowers

>>105590244
In my country it's anything that is "obscene" in the eyes of the public. Not even child safety related. It's already used to crack down on whistleblowing content.

>>105588904
This, if it was any other website it wouldn't be an issue but because 4chan is "anonymous" you can't its stupid. I would rather 4chan just lets you have an account but you still post as "anonymous" requiring a pass to post from behind a vpn is garbage.

>>105590250
Well, it's about money and optics, yeah. Blame moms against pornhub or whatever started that whole thing.

>>105590264

Well, being gay doesn't cause much of a stir anymore. Can't blame them too much. For a while they had to resort to using racism as blackmail.

That's the EU's fantasy, not the world's reality. GDPR has no reach here for entities with no presence in the infected countries. OFCOM has zero authority to make demands of anyone outside the UK, and their impotent demands can be safely ignored. No American court is going to order an American entity to obey any demand by OFCOM.

>>105592429
They have offices in infected countries, so they're on the hook. If you're a business registered in America and have no physical presence they can reach in any infected countries, they have no jurisdiction.

That's the problem with hasty legislation introduced by a minister that's heading up a reshuffle branch of government taking on duties from 3 other departments, about to go on maternity leave and is on the third prime minister in the 5 year term because Boris sure needed to get Brexit done and that Corbyn fella couldn't be trusted to send us to mutually assured destruction.

Almost all legislation that was passed from 2019 - 2024 is complete and utter garbage.
We kind of forget just how bad reshuffle syndrome got under the conservatives, whether it was a reshuffle under Boris, a minister resigning, another reshuffle, a rebellion, iceberg or one of the 3 to 4 shuffles Sunak's government had there was absolutely no way that any piece of legislation going through was going to be acceptable.
As a conservative minister said after the Truss era, people used to vote conservative because while they wouldn't always act in your best interests they were supposed to be competent, without the competence what are they? This was later repurposed by Mel Stride the Work & Pensions minister (now shadow chancellor) in his own leadership campaign, that they'd lost their competence.

As for the bills, everything would just go to the lords, get bounced back and forth endlessly until they whipped the peers into passing and anything that got through looks like this, a broad policy with more holes in it than swiss cheese.
There was supposed to be an online verification scheme set up by now when the conservatives passed it, you were supposed to be able to buy a pass in the shops verifying you were old enough and then use that online to verify with sites that complied with the legislation.
but the legislation is mental.

>>105589812
They can't go after the websites if they don't have a presence in this country, but they can absolutely block the websites in this country. That's why everyone is seething.

>>105589935
>the legislation is so wide-reaching that ofcom is going after every open forum threatening them with a fine thats a thousand times most of their annual revenues.
Friendly reminder ;_;

>>105590790
If you can get Ofcom to enforce it, sure, but these laws will not be enforced consistently. They've just banned something everyone does so that they can now arrest anyone they don't like if they so desire.

>>105595013

infact the UK has its own version of GDPR called UK GDPR™ and GDPR is aweseome to fuck over corporations if you know how to use it properly

>>105596326
Those Tory bastards! Sunak must pay for this!
That looks like a delightful little website and truly shows the level of incompetence our government holds when drafting legislation. This isn't an oversight like the EU legislation for a port like USB C being queried to see if they can just not put a port on a device and use wireless charging instead, this is what happens when there's massive chasms within a policy because everyone involved was incompetent.
