Very expected, but I'm glad to see you told the cunts at Ofcom to fuck off with as much hatred as I expected from you on this specific issue.

People outside of the UK won't be aware of this, but since the Online Safety Act was passed this month, several very old small to medium sized communities have completely shut up shop because they just do not have the means to fall within compliance of what these tyrannical little dickheads are asking for. As far as the OSA is concerned, a forum ran by some random dude with 10 people on it who talk about nothing but their favourite moth species falls within the same scope as Facebook or Twitter, and will be treated as exactly the same thing. Fucking lunacy.

I fucking hate the UK government more than any other group of so-called "people" on the planet. If they reach out to you again, send them the entirety of gap.zip and tell them to suck shit. Fuck these sandnigger loving faggots.
 
So that is the reason ovarit closed
I'm sure it had something to do with it. A number of other sites I use or have used in the past have closed too, some citing this imbecilic law. The fact is the only way to comply with this bureaucratic nightmare is to have a legal team to do it. All the oligopoly companies like your Google/Twitter/Facebook types can afford to comply or suck up a fine.

Little mom and pop type sites? They can't afford it. And with effectively unlimited fines, shit like £18m fines (which can be imposed over and over without limit), they can just financially obliterate any company. Basically an instant death penalty.

It's enough to make you nostalgic for the guillotine. And perhaps neckties can come back into fashion.
 
The UK loves doing this. Passing laws because they sound good, and then quickly discovering they're unenforceable (I suspect the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will be a similar shitshow when that comes into effect). The large social media sites this bill was written in mind to target aren't based in the UK and have enough money and power to simply tell Ofcom to fuck off. The only websites that are really fucked over by this legislation are small, independent forums based in the UK. Places like forums for hamster owners:
Dozens of small internet forums have blocked British users or shut down as new online safety laws come into effect, with one comparing the new regime to a British version of China’s “great firewall”.

Several smaller community-led sites have stopped operating or restricted services, blaming new illegal harms duties enforced by Ofcom from Monday.

They range from a hamster owners’ forum, a local group for residents of the Oxfordshire town of Charlbury, and a large cycling forum.
“While this forum has always been perfectly safe, we were unable to meet [the compliance requirements of the Act],” wrote the operators of The Hamster Forum, which describes itself as “the home of all things hamstery”.

Richard Fairhurst, the administrator of the “Charlbury in the Cotswolds” forum, wrote that the Act was “a huge issue for small sites, both in terms of the hoops that site admins have to jump through, and potential liability”.
These are the sites that don't have the money or power to resist laws like this. Not the giants.

So good job, Westminster. You've protected our children from the pernicious influence of... the forum for local residents of Charlbury. Brilliant use of Parliamentary time and resources right there.

@Null Britbong is claiming that he is the one responsible for this.

I don't see this myself as Britbong doesn't have the intelligence to pull something like this off. All Britbong can do is lust after underage children like his current underage internet girlfriend.

I'd be shocked if that tea nigger was the only one. They were going to do it anyway. I was wondering when.

Britain couldn't be more of a faggot nation than they already are. Fuck the Crown, fuck the "King" and fuck their pozzed populace.

Did they not link or give examples to such material?

They're hardly going to email every single website on the internet so why did they email you?
 
I have a feeling that here in Burgerland any pretense of the 1st Amendment is also going to vanish in the next few years thanks to the alphabet agencies that really run our government regardless of the fucktard puppet who sits on office as "president".
Say what you like about our elected idiots, but the First Amendment is still strong. And also say what you like about the current composition of the Supreme Court, but its current First Amendment positions are as rock solid as they have been in decades.

The main real danger currently is Section 230.
