Ofcom the British are coming

[Sky727]

I would think this is a bit of an overreach by a few idiots in the U.K. They have allowed so many to enter the country that their traditional British society is being destroyed, for good or bad. That is what happens in a representative society. Let a couple of hundred thousand in and they vote one of their own representatives into government and in some cases what they want is the same type society they fled from. 

China has no problem shutting down any dissidents or any web site that goes against the government one true propaganda story so ..... there is a road map for all tyrants...But even they are not trying to pull this insane policy off ! 

Why is Ofcom trying to censor Americans?When Preston Byrne received a demand from Ofcom for £20,000 last month, he printed it off, put it through the shredder and turned it into bedding for his pet hamster.
The lawyer, who is representing US messageboard 4chan in its legal wrangling with Ofcom, even publicly poked fun at Britain’s communications quango, telling it that his hamster – Mr Whiskers – said the letter ‘smelled of failure’.
It’s a sign of just how confident the American attorney is in his assertion that Britain’s Online Safety Act has no legal force outside the UK, despite Ofcom’s claims to the contrary.
The poorly drafted legislation – which was introduced by the Conservatives, and came into effect in July – gives Ofcom the task of policing the worldwide web, and makes little distinction as to whether a company actively operates in Britain or not.
Under the law, Ofcom has been awarded the power to impose fines against both foreign and domestic tech firms – and even imprison senior executives for multi-year jail terms – if they fail to enact whatever directives its bureaucrats demand of them.
Byrne, who describes the Online Safety Act as ‘the most expansive internet censorship regime in the Western world’, tells me it has about as much legal weight as UK prime minister Keir Starmer claiming ‘the Moon is made of cheese’ and expecting Americans to recognise that, in law.

So? If they refuse to comply at the server-side, sanction them to the extent allowed by law, and just make ISPs block it. At the transport level, not the DNS level. Also make it illegal for VPNs to smuggle illegal content.

Problem solved.

I'm not sure 4chan is representative of "traditional British society".

Britain doesn't suffer from the American delusion that every form of filth and pornography is "free speech", nor do they misread their Constitution like Americans and conclude that it is beyond the reach of the law.
