- Comment on 4chan will refuse to pay daily UK fines, its lawyer tells BBC 1 week ago:
mainly they are a lot less relevant nowadays than they used to be, it used to be (late 2000s, early 2010s) that a lot of Internet culture came originally from 4chan memes, no longer the case

- Comment on 4chan is getting fined in the UK by the Office of Communications(Ofcom) under Online Safety Act; 4Chan Respond by appealing to Trump administration and intending to fight it in the U.S courts. 1 week ago:
In the particular story that this thread is about, neither is happening: the UK is fining a site. I admit that it’s not exactly the same thing; the point is that it’s the same concept of national governments believing they have any business at all enforcing their laws on foreign websites.

~2006: haha can you believe it? China and Thailand and other such countries are blocking sites like Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. because there’s stuff on there that their governments don’t like, how awfully authoritarian of them to think that their laws apply to everyone in the world, we liberal democracies in the west are a lot better than that fortunately

- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
This is also the case in Austria according to orf.beitrag.at/faq/allgemein so whether to call that a “tax” or not is purely a terminological question. It used to be that this was only required for owning a TV, but this was hard to enforce because there was no automatic legal requirement to let inspectors into one’s home and companies started to produce TVs without a TV tuner (i.e. could only stream from the Internet) to get around this.
- Comment on Anon is Bri’ish 1 week ago:
This is/was a thing in many other European countries too.
In Austria it used to be (not long ago, a few years at most) that only people who owned a TV needed to pay it, not anymore, now every household has to pay it, so it is basically a household tax.
- Comment on Tech giants turning blind eye to child sex abuse, Australian watchdog says 3 weeks ago:
Yes, fighting crime (especially such uncommon crime) is a lot more important than privacy or non-censorship. That is definitely the right attitude for a free society. Nothing bad can come from it. /s
John Perry Barlow was right with his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.
- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 3 weeks ago:
pretty sure they don’t, those last things are already (or will be?) banned for young people in Australia :(
If I hadn’t had the Internet growing up, I would have 0 (zero) positive memories of my preteen and teenage years. People who want to take that away from future generations are truly pure evil. I have no other words.

In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.
