UK Readers: Do not read this. It is for your protection. /s

Ofcom can pound sand. They do not know what a link is.

"We are aware of the lawsuit," an Ofcom spokesperson told 404 Media. "Under the Online Safety Act, any service that has links with the UK now has duties to protect UK users, no matter where in the world it is based. The Act does not, however, require them to protect users based anywhere else in the world."

This is an interesting link that I am obfuscating on purpose because it may not work (CF). But UK readers may want to give it a go.

@SpaceLifeForm seriously, I wounder if #Ofcom are just smooth-brained #TechIlliterates that need to print out everything from the Internet or if they believe themselves to be #GalaxyBrainChair - Overlords...

@kkarhan @SpaceLifeForm there are quite a few people out there who think that law will trump reality or mathematics, and they are extremely persistent in that belief.

@darkuncle @SpaceLifeForm I know.

The recent #Cyberfacism is just the 3rd round of that bs, which feels even more unhinged and detached from reality than ever before, given we live in the Post-#Luty / Post-#FGC9 - era and that #technology is irrevocably out there as in "#ITAR isn't worth the paper it was printed on!" kinda way.

  • The hamfisted approach to extreme regulation certainly radicalizes #Normies [which is good] and lays bare the #TechIlliterates detachment from the reality.

And those #TechIlliterate decisionmakers are a constant pain to my existance for > 20 years as their #bullshit insults my intellect for at least that long that I can precisely pin down!
