@VD15 As long as people keep getting pestered with age verification requests, the petition should still have decent momentum.
The issue with the Stop Killing Games petition by contrast is that for months on end, nobody talked about it. So until PirateSoftware opened his stupid mouth, it had essentially died out and was about to fail.
But people are bound to keep discussing the Online Safety Act, because they keep getting annoyed by its effects. So the petition will keep getting attention.
Over 275k now.

@VD15 Considering what is at stake, I'd think that petition deserves to gather at least 1 million signatures. Probably won't happen, but at least another few hundred thousands would be nice.

@beardalaxy I have weird memories from my childhood (5-6 years at most) when, because I lived in poor post-communist Eastern Europe, we still only had a black and white TV. But for some reason I can't comprehend, I swear I remember the cartoons I watched on that TV being color.

The brain can do weird things.

@VD15 Question though: which of the two do you figure makes up the majority of Linux users?

@Edent So what are you asking him exactly? What does "杀猪盘" mean?

@SuperDicq @sun
I hope it's real, so that maybe people learn to stop uploading their ID on random websites, and start fighting against legislation that would force people to ID themselves online.

@VD15
BTW, question: what would happen if you tried to use a VPN?

@VD15 Sure, but they still have to go through the official procedures to say "fuck off". Make them waste their time, until they start legitimately getting angry at being pestered repeatedly.

@VD15 @sampo
Oh I'm sure your government will make some other stupid law (maybe a link tax like Australia tried to do), and the big tech will just say no.

@VD15 I hope at least your politicians are forced to respond to this shit. And if they say no, make another petition. And another. And another. Bully them with these petitions for years.

@sampo I hope the big guys start blocking UK: Twitter, Facebook, Google. Cause at some point, that would lead to riots.

Sometimes real life feels like a fever dream. Did we really have a movie based on Pacman with Adam Sandler and one based on emojis with Patrick Stewart as poop in the last decade?
