UK internet censorship is getting absolutely insane.
The UKs laws are going to be a problem for the indieweb as a whole. I imagine a lot of sites and services are going to have to entirely ban UK IP addresses.

This started a few months ago but it keeps getting worse.

@oshy I don't understand whey cant they just ignore UK authorities if they don't have a UK presence

@VD15 @oshy I know they claim they do (and companies often listen, UK government and nonprofits were behind lot of 2010s internet censorship), but do they actually have jurisdiction? I have trouble thinking of a mechanism.

@matrix @oshy AFAIK, all ofcom can do is say "gibs", but unless the company has a UK presence, they can't really enforce anything beyond blocking the website. They've collected jack shit out of all the fines they've issued under the OSA. Foreign courts can just tell them to get fucked.
