The online message board’s lawyers say that UK safety laws don’t apply outside the UK. This basic principle may soon be tested in court.
There are already a lot of products and services created to block adult material. Instead of wasting millions of dollars and thousands of hours of human power, they could’ve made a law to opt-in to these services at the service provider level.
For example, in this situation, nearly all blocking services would block 4chan.
They tried that. Don’t underestimate the progress already made towards building the Great Firewall of Britain. I guess the main problem was that when the blocking was optional, too many people chose to opt out.
Wow so many people disagreed that it flipped. Almost like people don’t want it
Yea, but don’t you see, wee need to protect the kids.
right right right, you’re right, please take away my privacy to help parents not need to parent their children!!!
First off thank you for the info. Second what comes next is not directed towards you.
SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM THEN?!
then ban 4chan in the uk. nothing of value would be lost.
How does one ban a website within a geographical border? Isn’t that censorship?
Ip blocking at state ran/sponsored networking level. But censorship is the point of the age verification law so that would be their end goal.
As always, 4chan good guys
