The Online Safety Act charged the regulator Ofcom with monitoring whether pornography sites are protecting UK viewers from encountering illegal material involving …extreme content, such as…necrophilia.
Back when he had started out in law school, the Honourable Judge Hodgkins had not expected to be spending the seniormost years of his career ruling on whether or not a lich queen should be considered dead by British legal standards. However, it was Parliament that wrote the law, not him. He went back to scrutinizing, side-by-side, a copy of Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England and the Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition Player’s Handbook.
Just ban porn at this point
- Good luck enforcing that;
- No, let’s not just ban everything that some people find objectionable.
Clever strategy: barely legal means legal, and if they make it illegal, there will just be a new category that is now barely legal…which now is illegal!
It’s a blanket ban by induction.
Or they could fuck off and leave people be
Barely barely legal
These barley legal ladies are finally 65
“UK pornography task force”
Shades of this imo:
I’m doing my part
A reminder this government is also drawing up proposals for reintroduction of blasphemy laws. They know where they can shove their crucifix.
Do you have a link, not that I don’t believe you, but I like to check before I tell other people
A man was just convicted and fined for burning a Koran, under a blasphemy law by another name.
😂 Yeah must be because Christian and not Muslim specifically since their law on internet censorship forbid criticism against immigrations and the only persons convicted was for critics against Islam
Christian fundamentalism is a thing, just look at the USA and Kony.
Not that different from the Muslims you criticise. Just with a cross instead of a moon. You’re pretty arbitrary at it.
All fundamentalisms seek to repress and are bad. Regardless of faith, fascism has no place.
I agree american church can be crazy but let s be honest between burning a bible or the kuran what will send to jail ? In Europe critic of Christian faith have never been punished by law for long time. You can do a piece of art that blasphemous toward Christianity and all u get is a place to expose it in a museum meanwhile toward Muslim it s jail or they simply kill you. It s really bad faith to say the two are similar
Criticism of Christianity certainly has been punished here! You’re mistaken. Also, they are similar.
In Europe, eg in Ireland, the bishops were sacrosanct so much, that they could rape people and nobody would do shit because they had that much influence. And people who wanted to abort, were refused service and so basically got killed under the name of the Cross.
Or look at Poland, where Christianity is also still very much holy - so much that they erected a giant statue of Jesus. A waste of tax money if you ask me.
And that’s not to mention a lot of countries have blasphemy laws still in place, and Sundays where stores simply are not allowed to open at all. Or how about sexual abuse in Churches occurring nowadays still?
Don’t act and play dumb.
Source ? And about bishop rape tell me is it a faillire of the state like for miffant rape epidemic in england et they even vote to 'of do an inquiry or is it a faillure of citizen to report crimes ?
Nice bad faith play. The source is your mother and literally go google.
There’s no “failure of the state” or “vote”… or such excuse. Fuck off.
Lmao Give a source bro it can t be that hard Trying to convince that one doesn’t have a preferency treatment compare to the other when it come to the state is funny AF
I knew I recognised her face.
“Barely legal” = totally legal and ok
We need to end orginized religion and stop these sex obsessed freaks from censoring our society.
Labour’s war on choke.
Some people really aren’t comfortable with the fact that you do actually have to have a line where things are legal
im assuming the idea is that a failing economy wants to instill puritanical bullshit like this because they think that young men and women will want to fuck each other more now that they cant masturbate as easily. and thus will increase the birthrate, which over time will stimulate the economy by having more low born wagies and soldiers to support and defend a dying status quo.
by formally giving your ID and biometrics for access to porn, you set yourself up down the line for legal blackmail if you ever try to resist, or become a personality of resistance in any way.
the elites have done this for years to one another, now, they want to create a system of manipulation where regular, normal pornography can be used as a tool of manipulation on the masses.
“oh, you think we shouldnt support israel? well thats a ironic coming from a degenerate deviant pervert who likes oiled up big booty latinas and stacked furry futa hentai”
people are gonna crank hog whether you like it or not. we’ve been doin it since we evolved thumbs.
fight the good fight UK, never stop crankin’. get a vpn and download everything while you still can.
Honestly that would seem like the most common sense idea that anyone would/could draw up from this, and for the most part I think this is what the gov is trying to do.
I think there’s an unstated side effect from the Online Safety Act which nobody seems to be talking about - using the new powers to effectively censor Palestinian protests online.
You can read about it some more: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/human-rights-defenders-raise-concerns-that-online-safety-act-will-lead-to-censorship-of-palestine-protest/
I’ve genuinely never felt so depressed about voting in this government in my entire life. Actual gross dystopian bullshit.
Yeah, I voted for Jezza but I saw this coming. While I wanted the Tories out, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for red Tories to replace them.
This is exactly the same shit they were pulling back in the Blair days.

You stop at the R and change if to a Z. Barry = Baz, Darren = Daz, Carol = Caz etc etc. Because British English is non rhotic, it doesn’t work if we stop at the R (like USAians can say “Gar” for Gary) so the z sound gets used instead, because it’s pretty close.
Then the A gets added if you’re being extra friendly or cute, a bit like Michael > Mike > Mikey. Gareth becomes Gary becomes Gaz becomes Gazza.
Make sense?deleted by creator
From the Midwest and I can confirm we drop the Y, Gar Bear is a common funny nickname for the Gary in your life

I think it’s even more important to pipe up about i2p

If we’re making it more our own again, and harder for them to understand it we then as people regain our Internet.
They wanna play whack a mole with millions bring it on 😅

This is really interesting, but I guess I don’t fully understand it. Does this replace your ISP (like Comcast for example), or am I just reconfiguring my browser to access these sites and not send my traffic through the regular Internet?
It’s kinda like Tor, but different, more secure from what I understand. You also can’t access normal internet sites while properly connected to i2p
Nah, you run it over your existing ISP connection but set up an “i2p router” on a PC / laptop / server to connect to others on the i2p network.
Here’s a vid on some discussion about what it is

are there any downsides like speed and connectivity?
or has all that been worked out since it’s been around since 2002 (and apparently I’ve never heard of it like Tot, which has its own drawbacks)?Obviously there’s not as many seeds for torrents as there is on the Clearnet, but recent uploads saw me getting reasonably decent speeds while some of the older torrents can take some time or be dead…just like the ones on the Clearnet.
There is something that while it doesn’t affect me here in the UK (yet…) there are issues with connectivity in certain dictatorships listed on their site
https://geti2p.net/en/about/restrictive-countries
Try it out, there’s even an Android app which I never really used and only have i2p on my server at home. Reading the reviews it seems to be hit and miss on a phone, and I should really give it a try sometime.
They could start with the Daily Mail.
Ya fed the terfs, put them in power and now you’re discovering they’re ultra conservative sex-panicked weirdos.
People on fucking mars saw this coming.

That’s why they need to change the law in order to ban it. Duh

Just make the legal age of performers 85, it’ll vastly reduce the number of porn viewers.
Don’t underestimate gooners
The classic slippery slope, thin end of the wedge argument.
A reasonable position, you’re gonna need some evidence of intention or history to give it some heft though.
Anything claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
you’re gonna need some evidence of intention
We have a legal age of 18. Some people make porn that is “barely legal”. The intention is to make that illegal. The evidence is in the article.
Is that evidence of your point of a creeping line of illegality?
Probably all the same people complaining about this, are the same ones who support “traditional values” like child marriage.
Yet another ill concieved piece of legislation incoming, from a bunch of elderly people who don’t understand anything and are quick to moral panic.
Imagine the recruitment process for this taskforce. A bunch of people rushing to volunteer for this taskforce that requires watching all the source material for research purposes.
