Whenever "legality" of things are tossed around:

I personally think UK-based folks have a personal duty to defy the OSA.

No idea how that'd go but uh... OSA is a load of horseshit and you should do the right thing by not obeying a single thing required by it.

I am not a lawyer. But this is your time to act (or not act at all by not lifting a finger to react to its demands).
Folks all talking about protesting and rioting etc and then give in to the simplest things.

There's no way they can reach so many small-potatoes operations. Fuck 'em.

@colinstu what is the OSA?

@clarkiestar @colinstu "Online Safety Act". They made a law requiring "highly effective age assurance" for things like... uh... forums. Because What If Someone Posts Porn!!!.

And of /course/ requiring it for porn sites and suchlike too. Give your ID to this random sketchy company so you can see lewd stuff, they're /totally/ trustworthy and not keeping tabs on what stuff you're watching! </s>

@colinstu This Adventure Time episode discussion thread is too spicy for the UK apparently.
@xanthe @colinstu for real though? Adventure Time hit hard, there could be some deep shit going on in there.
@passwordsarehard4 @colinstu I hear ya. xD S05E14 in particular, thrusts a knife deep into my heart. </3
