The complaint form Ofcom says you should use to report websites for violations of the #OnlineSafetyAct does not allow you to enter URLs, because it might be illegal for Ofcom to look at them.

What is going ON over there.

@aphyr The first classic argument against strict liability laws for possession or viewing is that they make enforcement completely unaccountable, as possession or viewing of evidence is a crime, and even pointing at the thing or giving a complete enough set of directions to find the thing might be a crime, so the only people who can accuse people of the crime without being found criminally liable are those who laws mysteriously never seem to be applied against (eg the Met Police in the UK).
@aphyr (That is, the necessary accountability and impossibility of challenging a conviction is the first argument; the second argument is basically the same but focuses on how this protects actual perpetrators by making all witnesses who might come forward equally guilty as the perpetrators; the third is that it means that there is no need to 'frame' someone for the crime, a police officer can simply carry offending material with them when they break in to your house and that makes you guilty)
@aphyr Anyway, it is no surprise that the UK keeps advancing 'protect the children' laws that make it harder to protect children but make it really easy to go after lgbtq people and communities.
@flaviusb @aphyr I had the impression that at least some police staff were exempt for that exact reason.
