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

It's not really possible. Ironically null blocking the UK is the most effective way for the UK to restrict access to their own citizens because they're forced to use a VPN or TOR.
Traditional country level blocks are done via DNS but it's easily circumvented by just changing your DNS provider (eg: using google DNS at 8.8.8.8 ).
It's like demanding a school shooter to kill himself instead of organizing a police response.
 
I'm sure it's been posted, but this discussion between Rumble and Ofcom is apparently newly released.

They are correct. When I did the upgrade I disabled a bunch of stuff to focus on getting the site as fast as possible before adding back more complexity. They noticed IMMEDIATELY.
God damn. I know it's probably just a simple check for connection or some shit, but I like the idea that they are wasting money just having people refresh the site every couple minutes because they fear the slobber mutt.
 
Do brits seriously think they're going to vote their way out of this?
Let them rape your kids for another half decade and then maybe hope the next party doesnt immediately betray you like the last one did, even though they show constant obvious signs of working with the enemy already?
Reform UK (Mr. Farage and co.) have already stated that this law will be axed if they are elected into office.

I believe in online safety, but the way this is being done is overkill and over-reach but the smarmy 'holier than thous' won't have it even though most of them would sell their virgin kids to Muslim invaders if they thought they could get some woke points.

There needs to be a 'it's your choice, don't blame us' option as well - sites like Dating Sites should not be responsible for Catfishes and Romance Scammers, for example, and it should be up to the user to do something called 'due diligence'. If he/she can't or won't then it's his/her fault.

Yes, sites which WILLINGLY know that they have troublemakers (not talking about us) who are out to scam/fleece others and do nothing about it (like Wireclub or the Cupid Dating websites) do need a proverbial kick up the arse, but most sites who offer a service are not to blame for the actions of their customers - most of whom hopefully will behave properly.

Kids should be introduced to the Internet thus IMO:

6 to 8 - basic introduction to computing and consoles - i.e simple games and programming
8 to 10 - more advanced tuition - introduction to Windows and internet basics and safety
10 to 13 - coding, gaming, using a computer safely, danger signs etc.
13 upwards - everything else

If they sign up for a site underage (as apparently some kids did with a site called Faceparty back in the early 2000s) and get in trouble, then they should also bear some responsibility. Yes, adult men (mainly men) should not be contacting 16 year old girls for sex but also 13 and 14 year old kids should never ever be signing up for sites where there is adult/sexual content and parents should be mandated to ensure that little Johnny's internet habits are confined to chatting with his friends and playing age appropriate games and not spending time on nakedbustybabes.com
