goodbye /ic/ you were the only art forum I actually liked, it was nice to anonymously post sketches and receive proper critiques and then slink away, not to mention all the art resources.

Sure, I could get 4chan pass and use a vpn but, nobody can be arsed to pay for 4chan so, goodbye and happy drawing

bongs about to become gmis

Can't you just bypass that by manually setting your DNS server to something that doesn't answer to the UK's government? Try using 9.9.9.9
I happen to live in a country that blocks the pirate bay, but by using 1.1.1.1 as my DNS server, I can reach TPB just fine.

>The Online Safety Act 2023 (the Act) is a new set of laws that protects children and adults online. It puts a range of new duties on social media companies and search services, making them more responsible for their users' safety on their platforms. The Act will give providers new duties to implement systems and processes to reduce risks their services are used for illegal activity, and to take down illegal content when it does appear.
>The strongest protections in the Act have been designed for children. Platforms will be required to prevent children from accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content and provide parents and children with clear and accessible ways to report problems online when they do arise.
>The Act will also protect adult users, ensuring that major platforms will need to be more transparent about which kinds of potentially harmful content they allow, and give people more control over the types of content they want to see.

What's this bullshit? how the hell did the UK get like this? I heard that you guys and Australians were worse than that feminist hellhole called Spain but it seems that you guys live in 1984...
I'm a thirdie and my country is free, it's a shihole but I'm free, at least for now because the left wing pieces of shit are trying to censor us all.

>>7661435
>I heard that you guys and Australians
Don't you fucking dare put Australia on the same level of authoritarian Big Brother bullshit as the UK. We don't have fucking surveillance cameras on every street corner. We don't have a TV license mafia knocking on every door. We don't have footpaths crisscrossing every patch of trees on the island. We won't get arrested for carrying a butter knife outside our home.
We have our own nanny-state bullshit but the UK is on a whole nother level of cooked.

>>7661442
UK's cooked then.

>>7661442
What was covid like for you guys?

>>7661442
nta and not Australian but the impression i got of you guys was that Canberra is a dystopic rich people zone that throws out retarded decrees which most of the population ignores, but they randomly grab some people in violation of one of the many rules to use as threatening examples now and then. But they don't really have the manpower to enforce every stupid authoritarian law. Accurate?

>>7661449
Had some bullshit. Never really affected me. UK had it far worse.

>>7661450
You are describing every country with laws.

>>7661450
Literally true. During COVID friends and I were always out, even though we had these retarded rules against it. Polticians are retarded and general population is too lazy to listen to them, or fight back

>>7661449
Americans are so obsessed with australia's covid days, but don't seem to know anything about how australia actually handled it.
>Australia had covid camps
Yeah... if you crossed state boarders, and needed to be quarantined. If you just caught covid, you weren't being dragged to any camp or anything like that, which a lot of americans seems to claim.
So if you weren't travelling across the country during such a period, like an idiot, you weren't ever going to see them.
>Australia had lockdowns
And so did America. Should we judge the whole of america by what new york did? Admittedly Melbourne spurgged out big time and in a globally embarrassing way, but the rest of australia was fairly lax throughout the whole thing.

And I think those are really the only claims against Australia during covid, and I don't think they're too bad (sans Melbourne, but fuck Melbourne).
But if you think I'm just being a overly patriotic boot licker...

>>7661442
I hate to break it to you, but a bullshit e-safety law has passed requiring sites to identify if Australians are over 18 with actual identification, the specifics haven't been written yet, but it's going to be similar to what the brit bong is going through, for sure. So it's not a matter of 'if' for australia, it's 'when'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsMm3aQQMpc
Leave it to a government to fuck everything up they put their dick into.

What annoys me about this, is that the brits actually had a decent way of doing this privately written up previously. Remember the 'porn pass' laws you guys had coming a few years ago? Get carded as 18 at your local grocers while buying some beer, get your 'porn pass' which doesn't actually contain any private info about you, use that to verify yourself on sites.
Simple, private, safe, smart... so of course governments moved away from that, the stupid useless suit wearing mutts.
Granted, we're all probably to blame for laughing at it so much at the time.

>>7661435
So what's this going to do to the bongs? Is this just not going to let them access most sites or is it going to make them have to register and prove their age online with IDs first?

>>7661650
Yeah, I've already got a vpn setup to browse anyway but 4cuck doesn't let you use vpns without paying, I'll probably look into tor like the other posters are mentioning

>>7661416
>large swath of English speaking posters

>>7661416
UK and Canada are literally the top sources of indian posts on /pol/

BRO. I said this was gonna happen in one of those NSFW art discussion threads recently. DIDNT FUCKING THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN 7 FUCKING DAYS LATER. I need to get the fuck off this island ASAP. Brazil maybe? Or Thailand... fuck me sideways this is beyond shit.

>>7661631
Downplay it all you want faggot, we saw the videos.
You guys are cucked. Tell me about how you're living on stolen land, so I can tell you all the commonwealth will follow jolly ole england with this online safety garbage.

so when does this make it into American law? I remember hearing a few states had already started legislating over something similar

>another fucking retards that doesn't know what words mean
You're fine, bongoloid. That law only affects social media.

>>7662180
Texas did a porn ban, but iirc that was for people under 18.
Which, you need to be 18 to post here anyway.
We all know when it's summertime

>>7662188
Oh boy. Oh man. Read a little more.

>>7662195
See you after the law goes in effect then, guv.

Quiet, slave

>>7661435
Dude, this cannot be, in the last 5 years being a third worlder has become a less awful thing at such a neckbreaking pace that my brain still cant believe it.
How the hell did this happen?

>>7662188
4chan is social media, retard

>>7661980
It's mostly Canada and the US, I don't remember the last time I saw a Bong Jeet

>>7661422
Don't you need 4chan pass to post if you do that though?

>>7662334
The "first world" stopped being such and everyone in it is too slow to come to terms with the fact while their overlords are scrambling to reinforce their power over the plebs as much as possible before they figure out how fucked they are.
You'd think the sheer amount of peak oligarch corruption from Biden's late term onward would have raised some eyebrows, but no, Americans still somehow think they're first worlders. Exemplars of the first world, even.

>>7662364
No, that's if you use a VPN.
DNS is like a phone book, where you look up a name and you get a phone number. You can "call" that number using your own phone, or else through a VPN if you like.
A VPN is like a caller ID spoofing service, where you call someone and the recipient sees that the call comes from the VPN, instead of your phone number.

Last hour boys

You guys still there?

>all this reading about somewhere I don't live
can somebody just tldr what the "online safety act" actually specifically and clearly fuckin does in regards to 4chan? I'm not looking to read giant paragraphs of flowery words

>>7662835

>>7662839
they won't be able to access 4chan, because smaller websites are opting to just block the UK instead of spending all the money to do what the UK wants

Still up for me. Where's the go to spot when this gets banned in UK tho?

>>7662892
So Based REAL CHRISTIAN, REAL IRELAND is going to be ok then? Moving there.

Holy fucking shit, what boomer team cooked up that fecal disaster?

>>7662892
This is how things need to go.
They expect the entire internet to cater to them.
Like when Brazil said Twitter needed to change their rules, or they would ban it.

Australia arrested a man for having Simpsons porn and an author got CP charges for a book she wrote.

>>7663177
It wasn't the same. Brazil was based pushing back against (((Felon))) weaponizing twatter against the Brazilian gov. The (((Brits))) are doing the opposite, they are kneeling down to the big ones to enforce total control over gov, people and institutions

tl;tr: middle east narrative is getting out of (((control))). Their Orange good goy is getting knocked out by everyone and everything, from Joe Rogan to South Park.

>>7663208
....are you fucking with me?
Brazil demanded twitter ban accounts spreading "misinformation", and that twitter had to have paid legal representation in their country.

You're doing exactly what Brazil wants banned....are you (((brazilian)))?

>>7663210
Why are you lying? Brazil asked the same we in AMERICA ask to media corporations: to be accountable of criminal online activity. WE IN AMERICA brought fucking (((MARKY))) to sweat in front of the fucking SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And that bitch had to APOLOGIZE to the american citizens.
And Brazil did the same, as it should. An attempted coup happened and everyone knew it was orchestrated via Twitter, but in order to get to the bottom of it, Elon had to allow justice to get the detailed info on the promoters, not all the user base, but the ones already singled out. And he denied that. In America Elon would have been put on jail, like it happened with all the Jan6 rioters. Brazil was quite soft blocking the app instead of banning the company for good.
(((Felon))) is a (((british))) agent. The (((Brits))) are the ones in charge of the falling Big Brother global regime, and they are on panic mode right now.

>>7662161
>we saw the videos.
Videos of what? Police being dickheads during covid? Yeah, such videos came from every country. Your country was as cucked as ours when it came to covid, stop being a crybaby bitch about it.

>Tell me about how you're living on stolen land
Sure am, and loving it. How 'bout you? Do you enjoy living on your (probably) stolen land?
What's this 'holier than thou' attitude?

>so I can tell you all the commonwealth will follow jolly ole england with this online safety garbage.
I literally said Australia was next, ya dumb retard.
>I hate to break it to you, but a bullshit e-safety law has passed requiring sites to identify if Australians are over 18 with actual identification, the specifics haven't been written yet, but it's going to be similar to what the brit bong is going through, for sure.
