I live in the UK and this law is fucking bollocks, they practically shadow dropped this bullshit. Already lost access to Nhentai and Rule 34. Danbooru and Pixiv still work for now (probably gonna get blocked by next week) same with 4chan as Ofcom (Office of Communications) or as I refer to them as "The ministry of Truth". has started an investigation into 4chan which will most likely see that blocked too. . This new "Online Safety Act" is literally fascist and everyone I know who has talked about it, has said its a violation of privacy and human rights. The way I see it. The UK government will go after VPNs and Video Games next. I have a feeling they will make something similar to what China has then start blocking steam users from accessing their own shit. I will probably lose access to this site soon so thanks for everything lads.
then the UK goverment doesnt know how big a mistake it would be to perform ANY attack on 4chan - "thou does NOT mess with4chan, for then 4chan messes with you"

I don't think they were expecting the level of sustained backlash this is getting. They overplayed their hand. This was one of the dumbest political moves they could pull. Lowered the voting age to 16 and then immediately take away the three things most 16 year old like to do in their spare time; porn, social media, and video games. It's too early to say they may be realizing the scale of the mistake they made but I think that time is fast approaching.

Basically handed Farage the keys to Number 10.

very China where anything they don't like can fall under the radar.

How long before Beijing Barry starts sending dissenters to "re-education" camps.
Nothing he likes more than a bit of Chinese justice, along with pockets full of Chinese cash of course, handed to him by a well known Chinese spy no less.

I'm not sure how UK laws are written but is their any chance of forcing something like a vote of no confidence.

Nevermind my prior question as I see you would need the house of commons to vote against your current government. There was a petition for allowing the UK people the ability to have a vote of no confidence however time elapsed for it at the end of June.

Not until his own party turns against him and that won't happen because they are too busy lining their own pockets at the peoples expense.
Every one of them will leave parliament as millionaires, or close to it, that's why they want to be in there in the first place.
Truth be told no political party governs the country, it is more or less ruled by the civil service mandarins, they hold the real power because without them nothing gets done.

Parliament is not obliged to pay any attention to petitions and never do.
Yes they will have a "debate" but it's just a talking shop for the few that turn up, usually less than a dozen.

everybody please just be calm, the world will get better we just have to be patient, and i feel sad for UK especially with UK currently being so strict on their rules.

luckily other countries and this forum won't be affected and we can all take deep breath for that
Well, what about USA? My state and other states affected... I'm fucking pissed.
