If you are from the UK and are not seeing this, it is because you already have a token. Once it expires (i.e. your next KiwiFlare page), you will see it.

Oh, perfect time to deploy my new meme:

 

[biggacracka]

Imagine being a britoid and asking a company literally called 1776 to comply to your bullshit lmao

 

[diroama]

what irony? he's not kowtowing to their tyranny. they essentially want him to hand over all information regarding every bong who dares to even browse, let alone post on the site, for them to do whatever they want with. instead he's giving them the finger and blocking all UK IPs so they don't get a lick of data even if they subpoena UK ISPs, and instructing bong users on how to connect to the site and avoid big brother (big bonger?).

Lmao this is the kiwi farms equivalent of troons screeching genocide.

The letter was a template that will be getting sent to thousands of businesses asking them to complete some bullshit risk assessment about his website. It doesn't ask for user information.

Failure to comply will be the first strike to getting a website blocked from the UK, but they don't need to bother now because they got what they wanted with one email.

That's the irony part.

Ireland seems to copy every stupid thing the UK does almost immediately, so I wouldn't get too cocky.

Oh no it’s jus in my blood, I don’t live on the island itself. Once again we have the Brits to thank for most of us not living on our native land.

 

[Archie_Kimkicker]

Brits continue to be spineless niggercattle.

 

[Joe Swanson]

Not saying I want it to happen, and I did specify cross-border enforcement, which implies they would need cooperation from Kiwi Farms' jurisdiction. Sucks to not be able to read.

It's happened before: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10264

This site's scale is nowhere near Google's, and there is no precedent for smaller platforms being targeted (as far as I can tell), that doesn't mean there isn't the possibility of it occurring though. Google chose to pay because US courts wouldn't step in.

I don't see anything in the document about the United States government compelling google to pay the frogs, just some dickhead writing a report for congress about the situation.

Sucks not being able to read

 

[Gruntgar The Indentured]

I apologize it it has been brought up before my lazy retard ass catches up, but how does this fit into the Trump/British Commonwealth membership BS online?

 

[Hepativore]

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.

The problem is I am not sure how much our leaders can act independently without the "Deep State" giving them a "little talk" when they start getting too uppity.

Thanks Obama

The one BASED thing Obunga ever did. Thanks Obama indeed

 

[TORtlEMUStRaNSUS]

you know its probably for the best bongistan left the EU.

 

[YarrBlueballs]

Can't they seek cross-border enforcement of fines? Very unlikely to occur, but on the off chance it did it could put tremendous pressure on the site.

 

[CoolDudeXD]

What the actual fuck, man.

 

[Jace on ice]

I fear no reprisal from snaggle toothed pedophile fucks.

 

[3MMA]

The audacity to attempt to police other countries websites, (especially the US) never ceases to amaze me, & not in a good way. The UK is such a one trick pony now. And for centuries. The “fuck off, no way” response is always so fun to read when you get overstep like this.

That's the irony part.

You know as much about irony as Alanis Morisette.

That page gives clear instructions on how Bri'ish Farmers can circumvent their shithole's draconian censorship regime in order to continue Farming.

As far as I can tell, neither of Null's knees have been bent as a result of Ofcom's letter.

 

[Evil Peter Griffin]

65 countries told the Brits to fuck off. I can see why.

 

[Mr. Brown]

As a Brit, what is the best privacy focused VPN?

 

[Banana Hammock]

I'd suggest adding something about how there are plenty of free VPNs that work very well.

Can confirm it operates this way. I'm still posting after switching to a UK address, while another browser (without the token) is getting the legal notice. The IP is in Manchester.

I'd suggest adding something about how there are plenty of free VPNs that work very well.

I wouldn't trust it for high security, but Opera has a built-in VPN which might be a quick workaround while you figure out "real" VPNs. I wouldn't trust a free browser VPN for much, though Opera uses IPs from some pretty obscure locations that anything short of a government would have to go to some expense to subpoena.

If you do use a VPN, choose one with "Lockdown" mode, i.e. the browser entirely blocks Internet when it's not connected to the VPN (and make sure you actually turn it on). For a free VPN, ProtonVPN is pretty noob friendly, and among the normie VPNs, Mullvad is pretty well regarded (and takes crypto payments).

If you want fancier features with a GUI that's more than "just click a button and you're now the sinister hacker anonymoose," you probably already know the more obscure VPNs with super nerd features anyway.

It's not a problem for me because I'm not a techno-illiterate nigger but you could have given us a little bit of notice bro, the mumsnetters are gonna get shoah'd by this.
