  There must be a better source for this story than the revolting shitrag that is the Express, surely?

  I was wondering why so many stuff posted on Lemmy were just pictures saying “this is unavailable in the UK”

  Having broken assets reminds me of using the Web in China, when a lot of sites using Google Fonts had broken fonts. Lol.

  What I wonder is: are the majority of UK citizens OK with this law?

  Not that it matters probably, as UK isn’t a democracy in practice…

    Hard to say, but I doubt it. Our governments don’t ask before doing stuff - they’ve seen how stupid we are when asked basic questions.

  …it will be interesting to read the judgements when when they refuse to pay the fine. And I’d be willing to bet a fiver that a judge says that global blocking is not sufficient to remove a website from responsibility.

  Blows my mind that this the UK is doing this. I hope it gets reverted at some point.
