Wash your face.

As the guy in that picture, you don't need to make it personal by calling me unhygienic. I'm already having a bad enough time not being able to watch porn.

In 2025 I can't really tell if you are serious or not.

My conclusion is we're facing another emotional argument, and the solution is education.

So we're fucked.

Oh look, the act is already being used to limit more than just access to porn...

This is insane... dark times.

Don't laugh too much, because there are comparable initiatives moving through congress in various countries.

"Organisations can be fined up to £18m or 10% of their global revenue if they are found to have failed to stop harmful content appearing on their platforms. Under the act harmful content includes posts containing pornography, or any which encourage self-harm, eating disorders or promote violence."

This law is doing exactly what it was supposed to: incentivize social media platforms to err on the side of caution and censor much more content than the law stipulates. It doesn't cost them anything to add an 18+ tag to millions of postings whereas if they'd be more lenient and let more risky postings through it could potentially cost them millions.

Lol. Things are bad in the UK, but nowhere near that level.

This is less a genuine critique of poverty and more like strategic messaging designed to provoke anxiety about the current financial system with crypto framed as the savior.

Coinbase doesn't give a shit about poverty. It is a publicly traded, profit-driven corporation. It charges significant fees to retail investors (those most likely to be affected by poverty).

Its real goal is mass adoption of crypto, not systemic reform or wealth redistribution. Coinbase are packaging Crypto as salvation, especially to those in financial distress, but what they're selling is false hope.

Yes, but... you're reading far too much into it, mate.

It's a parody of a Monty Python sketch in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. It exaggerates truths for comedic effect.

I find it laughable when a UK-based organization is saying they'll protect the kids when UK have a grooming gang problem.

How much time until they criminalize VPN?

Channel 4 News are getting hit now, lol.

It's for their Bonnie Blue documentary. There is a bit of a problem for those against the OSA though because Bonnie Blue is rather vile. It's causing some people to be in favour of censorship.

This is interesting, how is it planned to be actioned:

Ofcom, the UK media regulator tasked with enforcing the act, has warned that firms could face fines not only for failing to protect children, but also for breaching freedom of speech under the act.

There is now a website where you can AI generate fake IDs with UK politicians on them

One thing that's good is regular folk are finally seeing how they were lied to for 20 years over mass immigration and multiculturalism. Unfortunately it's too late.

These pathetic attempts to censor are very transparent to all.
