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

When taking a professional seminar on online security, "Use a VPN!" was a dominant theme - but without the caveat that doing so means that online shops and banking sites either won't function correctly or restrict access while connected because of what @neger psykolog posted.

My bank never had a problem with me using VPNs. They did block my account for a day when they detected uBlock and of course I had to call them because they didn't bother telling me what it was about at first.

Honestly i dont even think banning social media for under 16s will do anything. Like of course they are gonna find away around it and basically nothing will change

You are correct but the law isn't about that. Its to force age verification checks via ID, so they can match ID's to accounts. Any website that doesn't comply the E-safety commission has the power to levy fines on behalf of the government against non compliant companies. Even before this they have already finned X repeatedly and taken them to court over refusal to remove a video of a Muslim attack a priest at a live stream from a church.

it's crazy all this shit is happening at the same time with the Visa/mastercard shit. The web censorship being pushed in the UK. The child safety laws being pushed in the US. Damn it's so weird huh?

Fortunately/Unfortunately i don't think this is a conspiracy or that these events are currently connected. Null outlined previously the payment processor censorship and why its happening. Its also the same shit they had already done to Patreon or places like Pornhub. Once they are made aware of any high risk material they take this same action. The cunts in that feminist group are the ones just brought it to their attention so they took action.

Also the petition that reached 400k signatures for parliament in the UK was addressed and they basically said "no get fucked we're doing this anyway". What a great fucking country to live in. They need a fucking V for Vendetta situation quick.

You remember how Amazon shat out that movie G20 earlier this year, the one with a black female president who was capable of action hero feats? That movie was greenlit in 2023, and though not explicit, the protag is likely a Kamala Harris-expy. The same principle that went into that movie being greenlit is the same mentality that caused all this censorship shit to emerge around the same time I reckon.

KOSA (USA) and OSA (UK) were all written up around 2021/2022 under a much different cultural paradigm than we have currently. These laws were written up pre-Musk takeover of Twitter, shortly after/during the end-months of Covid, in a post-Trump world (at the time). Considering these bills can sometimes take years to pass, I don't think the powers that be expected things to go the way they are regarding people's reactions, pushback, and the overall lack of compliance from the population, especially when they appeared so eager to do so during the Covid years. It is a whitepilling moment that people reacted negatively to this in the UK at least. Shame it's probably going to take until 2030 to come undone, or we'll have to wait until September at the earliest to get an actual response because Parliament is out for August.

Aside: Australia's system is crazy to me. The bill that's fucking people over right now was introduced on the 21st of November of 2024 and passed by the 27th. For comparison OSA was introduced into the UK parliament February 2022 and passed September 2023 and took a further 2 years to come online. KOSA, if it passes, will also take 18 months to come online, which isn't even factoring in how long it came take for the US to vote on bills (can take up to 3 months). Australia getting that shit read and out the door in a week is fucked.

They basically laid the groundwork for this a decade ago with the creation of the E-safety commission. This is just the final step.

We're up to 47 pages. Has Null decided what he's going to do about this? Is he going to carry on doing what he wanted originally, that is to block bong IPs, or will he stop doing that because OFCOM has asked him to continue doing it?

Keep in mind in all of this that the Bongistani government's goal is not to protect its citizens but to justify censorship and surveillance.

I think he (Null) might've expected a response from Ofcom on the deadline but since nothing has happened yet we all got blueballed. Ofcom might send him an threatening email today, or maybe the overworked internet-policeman overlooking his site has totally checked out and they're going to procrastinate and get back to Null on Monday.

Uk. The island that prosecutes rape victims if they misgender their tranny rapists. Nuke it already.

Not a rape charge but a transexual calling himself Tanis Wolf / Tara Wood attacked a grandmother in Hyde Park, this was back in 2017, because she was a "TERF" and in the court hearing, the judge admonished the victim for calling Tanis "he" and took that into account on reducing Tanis' punishment. Got £430 fine for physically assaulting an old woman because the judge thought she was asking for it by calling by the correct pronouns.

It would be the same in a rape case like you say, but a violent crime was the example I had to hand.

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:
Click to expand...
Sure the usual faggots come out to protest, but the majority of people are content to call him a cunt and ignore the visit entirely.

I actually saw a really funny Scottish news report where the guy on scene was astonished at the level of media access Trump permitted. He couldn't believe the press were allowed to talk to Trump and he was willing to answer questions. You could practically hear the deprogramming happening in real time as he realised all the shit about Trump silencing any opposition or criticism is total bullshit, and he's just a regular politician like all the rest.

Anyway, all this is to say of course some people would jaw about Trump taking over the UK, but like with everything else they'd soon roll over and take it because, like you say, they are completely domesticated. They don't care if it's royalty, Westminster, Israel or the US as long as the boot is placed firmly on their neck.
