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

The time has come for malicious compliance. Block the UK, wait two days after the deadline, unblock them again. Wait for the letter. Do this twelve more times.
Way ahead of you guvna:
You can just time how long it takes for them to respond/follow up on shit and block, unblock indefinitely.
Although court/government systems like the EU work over a very long time frame, they can't work with rapid changes in the environment very well.

If null wanted to do the funniest possible thing he would open up UK traffic on choosday only, innit?
 
Blocking any arbitrary UK IP range is out of the question, since surely there are non-citizens among the Brivvish population. If the site is accessed from a UK address, all that is needed is the following prompt:

Oi bruv is you an anglo? If yea tick dis box ⬜

Those who tick the box will be redirected to reddit.com.
 
What's going on with the graphic?

Did the black woman call the dude in a wheelchair a cripple "paki" or what exactly am I supposed to infer from this?
 
Oh Bri'ish better believe VPNs will be illegal in a year.
That's what will happen eventually, I'm afraid. It'll probably start with some kind of campaign that will demonize VPNs as the kind of service only pedos and terrorists use. VPNs are already becoming unusable with X, Google and other big sites.

I use NordVPN and I made an account on X a few months ago without a hitch, but was instantly hit with literally endless captchas the moment I wanted to post something because they "detected suspicious behavior". As for Google, I could use comments on Youtube no problem, but when I uploaded a video, they straight up logged me out without warning. I couldn't log back in because they wanted my phone number. Fuck that, man.

Britain is already going after VPNs if I'm not mistaken.

Sometimes it concerns sites that aren't even important. I wanted to buy some groceries from a big chain store in my country recently and they block VPNs at top level domain. Imagine going to walmart.com and being greeted with "IP obfuscation detected!" in plain text on white background.

That is fucking ridiculous.

Do not encounter it in Finland at all. It is just those streaming services that have been annoying.
Once upon a time I tried checking how Russians live. What prices they pay under their sanctions... Their shops do not like VPN at least did not at that point in time. I think they have been completely cucked already by their totalitarian government... as some here as well think it is some kinda based country.

There's very good reason for this that doesn't come down to censorship or control. VPNs are used by the lowest tier scammers and lowest tier internet users and result in the highest proportion of problems for almost every single online service. Especially for websites like Walmart and others you're talking about credit card fraud, stolen accounts and other gift card fraud and nigger shit.

If you're an ecommerce website there is no reasonable reason why a legit customer would be accessing your store using a data center IP address (which is primarily what gets blocked and not necessarily VPN services themselves, but it depends)

A lot of people use free tier VPN services or shitty VPN services where this problem is a lot more prevalent. Using a "brand name" VPN service that is actually somewhat reputable will result in this happening far less.
