Mostly agree on the principle but I’ll admit I am so rabidly against this heap of a law I’ll support virtually any site or entity that goes against it. Mark my words this shite will be used to begin targeting sexual minorities given the UKs track record of being TERF island.

Aye probs a DNS level block. Either way potato potatø the OSA is a disturbing authoritarian mess of a law, some absolute idiots in government are now advocating to begin gunning for VPNs as well : (.

In strict legal definitions that’s slightly different due to it handling defined personal data, how its processed and where its located rather than merely “Significant number of UK users accessing the site”. GDPR is also very well written and quite clear unlike the OSA which is vague, with a enforcer that’s already pretty infamous in the UK for being somewhat loopy in how they operate. Under US law and frankly international business law ofcom has pretty much zero mandate to demand what they are demanding of a entirely US domiciled company. Most matters of GDPR in regards to a foreign company will apply to companies with infra and a presence in the EU anyways.
What the UK says here pretty much doesn’t matter in any way shape or form, and if they’re going to ban it then ban it already rather than chasing around with fines and paperwork. I’d still rather this wasn’t happening as the OSA is a massive steaming turd of a law that’ll merely be used to suppress speech.
But yes technically if Hiroyuki Nishimura stepped foot in the UK he might wind up with some flak from it but beyond that this is just posturing.

I actually sometimes use 4chan, if that’s what you think it is then you’re frankly pretty deluded & again these laws are dangerous and will eventually be turned on something you support. You are falling hook line and sinker for ye olde “think of the kids” line that the political class roll out for authoritarian surveillance legislation.Image

Not under US law & I say this as a Brit, the UK is massively overstepping their authority at this point.

Cheering on disturbing censorship legislation is pretty cringe, their lawyers are also correct the UK has zero legal standing to make these sorts of demands of companies with zero infra in their borders when.it comes to international & US law.

Ty for the response. I do agree we will likely wind up with some sort of plastic eating organism at some point, problem is how many centuries will that take. Might be a opportunity to apply gene editing at some point in the medium term future.
Fair point on turps but turps and other compounds from wood dont tend to linger in the enviroment for as long as plastic does currently.
Unfortunately any solutions will be taken by porkies and as you say regulatory captured into making our lives more expensive rather than for the betterment of humanity, should be govt ran labs looking into this sort of stuff not corpos with dollar signs in their eyes. Having saidthat some early stage alternatives such as a seaweed based biodegradable plastic could help hugely in the single use plastic department.

Care to not nitpick a slip of the mind (that’s already been pointed out and corrected) literally just after I had woken up and address the actual point?

Hydrocarbon based plastic absolutely isnt natural, there are many different kinds of plastic in existence but overwhelmingly stuff from the last 50 years has been the inorganic hydrocarbon type which doesn’t break down and is likely a endocrinologal distruptor & a carcinogen.
- Comment on oops 1 month ago:
No it isnt, its about the production precursors being literal poison for anything they get into with no chance of breaking down. Its a unusually harmful and persistive compound.

My last car was a tiny 20 year old 1.1 shitbox that cost me £300 a year in insurance and cost me £400 in spare parts over 3 years of ownership and I could get 200-250 miles off a £30 tank of petrol but ok. I also had zero incidents driving in all of those years in a car thats most advanced piece of cabin technology was a tape deck.

If you need an assist to not go straight into a car in front of you you’re objectively a bad driver lol. If its foggy AF you slow down.

You shouldn’t be driving if you rely on stuff like that.

There kinda isn’t, I did read it before and the actual content of the article is fine however. The Torygraph isn’t daily mail tier of complete drivel.

Really wish id bought that £1 branded toilet paper now, I assume this buyout will probs lead to asset stripping and the company eventually vanishing.
