2025-07-25 - OFCOM: "Ofcom engagement - Availability of KiwiFarms in UK"

Like I said in the KF reviews thread:

I may be somewhat out of the loop on just how the hell the SJWs have managed to make KF look so bad anyway -- especially to the MSM, which "woke" have managed to infiltrate. Is it mainly the work of "Keffals" and "Liz Fong-Jones" in response to KF airing their dirty laundry? Or, is their BS just another part of the "woke" efforts to "cancel" KF? Is this site being one of the few left with the freedom of speech of a '00s site -- and which criticizes The Narrative™ -- really all it takes to become the "Nazi site" now?
 
can someone explain to me what happens if kiwifarms decides to not complain with the OSA? does kiwifarms get sue or fine by the government? or will they just block you in the UK?

I believe they just don't want the hassle of even trying international negotiations with the United States to censor a legal website. The Brits are literally begging people on live TV not to use VPNs and set them up for their kids. They didn't seem to think this through at all, and there's even a proposal to ban VPNs (but it's Labour, so lol)

They could conceivably issue symbolic fines in the millions. Specifically, "up to £18 million or 10 percent of their qualifying worldwide revenue, whichever is greater." That's about $24 million in real money. They can do that if you operate a forum on keeping hamsters as pets but don't have a team of lawyers to keep up with 10,000+ pages of regulations that change every day as to what you have to do as an ISP.

I say symbolic because they can't do shit outside their weak, impotent failed island nation that is getting overrun by immigrant rape gangs and where they can't even enforce their idiotic TV "loicense" laws because they are too weak.
 
I am having trouble believing these "people" conquered nearly 1/3rd of the globe at one point.

That was our great grandfathers. You know the old truism:

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

We've had a few generations of weak men. Now we're coming back to the hard times.
 
Trump was recently ins Scotland, I'm not sure if he is still there, he was touring his privately owned golf fields and opened some golf school named after his mother (cause she's Scottish, born in the Hebrides I believe).

I literally watched a 45 minute segment in which the locals were bitching about how they "Don wan em ere" and how they're not proud that he is half-Scottish, that he doesn't represent them in any way and that it wouldn't be good for the image of Scotland if he were to be their poster child.
The reason why they don't like him ofc is that he's bigoted, misogynistic and has racist tendencies. Thus a very bad man and not Scottish at all...

I think you might be underplaying how domesticated the British are.

Here are some token pics of people protesting in Edinburgh against Trump during the visit:

We've seen these tricks before. College youth, the elderly, nothing between. No diversity, several high quality signs.

Paid protestors, and probably no more than 30 of them, positioned with the camera to seem more numerous than they are.
 
Here's the solution:

All users have to get a license from the government to use the Internet. All users have to register the license with their ISP. All users have to have individual accounts with their ISP. All users' activity has to be logged for at least the last 30 days with their ISP. It is illegal for a user to use the Internet whilst logged in under an account that is not theirs, and is punishable with jail time. Internet use by anyone under the age of 18 is illegal and is punishable with a minimum 30 days in the appropriate juvenile detention facility, with increasing duration for each subsequent offense. If they used the Internet in a facility where parents or guardians are present, those parents or guardians will be fined £1,000.00 for the first offense, with later offenses resulting in increased fines and/or jail time. All VPNs are illegal and banned. Any user caught using any kind of proxy or VPN will face mandatory jail time as well as fines.

Problem solved.
 
As this is England, I am not surprised in the slightest. Our Motherland has a long schizophrenic history when it comes to the balance of freedom and authority. Magna Carta to curtail the King's power, then the Civil War to go even further. And yet Cromwell was an even worse tyrant? How do we fix it?
 
Dear filthy redcoats, please invent Guillotine-A-Politician Day where you round up one or more, then hand out beers in front of the guillotines so that everyone can take turns pissing on the nonce up until someone eventually trips onto the rope and drops the blade onto the bastard's neck. Do this once a year and everything will be fixed. Thank me later.

Seriously though, why the fuck is your political system so broken. Out of all the things your government is obsessed about copying from the US, they chose the melting pot mythology and not the free speech or the guns. That's fucked
This is a work safe website that obeys the US law.
Considering the You must be 18 or over to visit this website. disclaimer and also the countless NSFL posts documenting far too many genitals and/or mutilations, I would like to contest that "work safe" claim
 
Ello guvna finkin of jerkin off were ya?
You got a loicence for that?

The fact a 3rd party can actually come in and fuck the uniparty system we've had since the end of WW2 means that things can change for the better. If we get Reform in to displace Labour and the Conservatives, we may have a singular aspect of our system that is worth envying.

It helps to picture that everyone done in the past 5 years is the result of the powers-that-be shitting themselves and flailing all over the floor in a bid to hold onto power. Labour's recent bout of schizophrenia, pursuing multiple contradicting avenues to try and bolster their numbers is evidence of this.

Give 16 year olds the right to vote -> Also raise tuition fees + restrict their access to the internet.
Promise to fix spending -> Make it worse, steal from ISA accounts and house illegals in expensive private hotels
Adopt anti-illegal immigration rhetoric -> own party shits itself and you apologise
Pay France half a billion pounds to stop boats -> they don't stop boats
Rely on elderly vote -> Threaten to take away winter fuel payments

It genuinely makes me whitepilled and hopeful for the future that the UK government is so incompetent. It's also why I initially pissed off that Null even humoured Ofcom by restricting UK users, I'm glad he stopped giving a shit.

Regarding free speech and gun issues: they're actually relatively recent problems all things considered, and need to be couched in context:
1. Free speech: Our current system is the result of legislation passed in '86 in reaction to uppity blacks (they were a problem with less than 3% of the population) and striking unions I.E. "inciting rhetoric", and further amended in the mid 2000s by the left that currently protects troons and muzzies. Whilst we weren't America-tier in free speech, our bill of rights still assured of free speech and we were the last Western European nation to implement such laws.

2. Guns: Post-WW1, we saw NFA-equivalent passed (understandable, after the worst war ever - at the time - the appetite for firearms was down), two years prior to WW2 machine guns were restricted (needed permission to own one) and certain requirements put on owning pump-action shotguns. I think in the 50s or 60s "self-defence" stopped being a valid reason to buy one, but claiming you were going to use it for target shooting was valid enough. '97, school shooting with illegally acquired firearm saw us lose access to handguns.

TLDR: Blacks and unions being uppity saw our speech curtailed in the 80s. Guns were gradually taken away during times of high-tensions or contentment I.E. when people were most indifferent.

The lack of free speech was something most Brits didn't feel themselves personally chafing under until rather recently. Now that more and more people are complaining about non-natives and actually see the consequences of such themselves, many people are realising we have such restrictions to begin with. When you remember that most people never consumed news outside of pre-approved sources until the last 5 years, it all starts to make sense. Reform (polling 1st), even if they flake on immigration, free speech shit is something they're also pushing for so in less than 10 years I might be able to call a Paki a nigger and only get arrested for harassment, not hate speech :D

Whilst the appetite for guns isn't really there unfortunately, I'd gladly support any politician that'd try and give them back to us. I fired some a few years back in Florida (I fired an AR-15, a Mossberg, something that resembled a glock, and a kind gentleman let me fire his Taurus - that one guy is why I try not to insult Americans broadly and always try to clarify a specific group if I'm making general statements) and access to firearms is probably the thing I envy most about America. That, and the abundance of cinnamon-flavoured foods.
