Virgin UK is blocking DNS Resolution to kiwifarms dot net

[Chaos Theorist]

Its what I like to call the "Maggots in the Machine" phenomena

Simply put, bigass companies and providers of universally used services like to go shopping for cheap new employees at colleges and universities to do twice the work of older drones for half the wage. So long as this new meat does what they are told and handles all the busywork, they are in practice left more or less alone by the hiring company and the choices they make are not scrutinised unless they put the company at risk of lawsuit or whatever, meaning they are free to work under their own discretion so long as they toe whatever line they are given.

Problem is, this discretion they are allowed means that so long as they frame what they are doing in a "THIS IS SUPER GOOD PR BOSS MAN!" or "oh it would be such a shaaaaaaaaame if you were to try and fire me and force me to cause drama for the company..." light they have the capacity to seriously fuck with anybody they take a disliking to for any petty reason, and so long as they keep it all in the limits of their contract and do not target anyone who will prompt massive media outrage, their bosses will probably not bother to intervene unless they start getting fairly blowback.

Now for things like fucking stationary factories or toilet paper contractors, there isnt really any way this power can be abused to fuck with people both due to the number of alternatives said person they are fucking with can go to instead, and because of the extremely limited damage this can do to the average person who earns the ire of one of these proverbial maggots in the machine. Once we get to things like social media monopolies, credit card companies, and internet providers however, these maggots can do quite a bit of damage to those who earn their ire.

Now remember where I said these companies recruit...colleges and universities. I.e. the places where the REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE train is still in full steam. Add in to this the near ubiquitous attempts by corporations to be more "woke" in order to attract niggershekels, and you have the perfect setup for anything deemed "problematic" to be quietly censored by some manlet in the complaints department who wants to earn his office's diversity consultant's asspats and to go to bed on his used ebay futon that night and fap about how he is fighting nazis in cyberspace

Now in this case here, were I a betting brony I would say a certain someone has been spamming his own ISP with complaints about how kiwifarms is ILLEGAL CP CONTAINING HARASSMENT NAZI HATE SPEECH! and eventually this bore fruit when some dangerhair maggot in middle management read over the complaint and decided to use what little power she had to add the farms to the "block from internet" list

So thats what Vordrak has been up to?

freedom of expression is a residual right, i.e. anything is permitted unless it's actually illegal (defamation, contempt of court etc.), and certain forms are protected (free speech within Parliament, media reportage of Parliament, qualified privilege, i.e. reportage of court proceedings)

the problem is that in law, the definition of 'hate crime' is extremely loose and vague (like 'immorality') - it can mean absolutely anything, and is bounded only by precedent and what is considered reasonable in court, neither of which guarantee any sort of common-sense based protection to anyone

God Bless the United States of America and its Honorable Court.

Matel v. Tam

A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government’s benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

Britfags beware!

Imagine being so fucking cucked that the police of your country ignores foreign rape gangs and murderers while they persecute people who speak badly of the former on the Internet.
Wait, you don't have to imagine it because that's exactly what's happening. The UK police is effectively an arm of the invasion force.

Aside from a bit of cultural heritage, Wiltshire is mostly known for the crappy "Wiltshire farm foods" brand.
Time for the "boys & gals in blue" to hunt me down

I've been to Swindon. It is a town so boring and shit that one of its main selling points is a roundabout made of mini roundabouts. Oh, and Melinda Messenger came from there.

Don't forget Swindon's finest, Carl "Suit" Benjamin.

Though if my jurisdiction produced Spergon, I'd be tempted to install a totalitarian Police state too.

This is innacurate, if you're the UK you can be forced to live in places that aren't England.

Like Wales, where there's naught to do but fuck sheep, or Northern Ireland where they set things on fire whenever you mention flags.

Scotland were the ones that arrested Dankula, so there's no hope for their police either (that's not getting into the local government).

...

I was making a point with this, but all I've done is make myself more depressed for being in the UK.

Well, in England there's a lot of variation as well. London is in and of itself suicide fuel. Ditto the Home Counties. The North West is pretty cool though, they have the Macc Lads and bitter and doesn't afraid of any southern poofter. Also the South West, where they have cider and cheese and surfing and super hot chilli peppers and big fuck-off cliffs. Oh, and the North East isn't too bad although the locals need subtitles. They did invent Viz and Nukey Brown so they're okay.

Thankfully, where I live, if anyone started screeching about what gender they identified as and being erased and hate crimes they'd be told to harden the fuck up.

Basically the Southeast is cancer and the only reason we don't sink it into the ocean is because then they'll move everywhere else.

The whole country is going down the pan and it's only time until Britain is under Sharia law. Once my student loans were paid off I couldn't wait to leave for a better life. After the Manchester arena bombing of 2017 I realized how unwelcome I felt in my OWN city in my own country.

Ah, but the virgin represents both the ISP Virgin UK as well as britbongs in general. It's a very complex meme and I'm currently operating on multiple meme levels.

The official term used by the police is "Computer Misuse", of course they use this undefined term so that they don't have to admit a majority of the cases are people literally being jailed for using sites like Kiwi Farms and 4Chan. According to the latest statistics there has been a 30% decrease in "Computer Misuse" with an estimated 1,121,000 cases.

I actually cleared a ton of posts I made on Facebook in my High School years because it can be considered a jailable offence now. Yes, I could actually land myself in prison for a joke I made when I was 15.
