They don’t have the capability to deploy ISP-wide blocking in UK? Why is the charge of compliance put on some foreign company ?

[–] WALLACE@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

They do, naturally there's a lot of sketchy websites blocked that way.

I think the reason behind this is to get legit websites to comply with UK law rather than just block them by default. If they don't want to comply then they will end up on the block list of course.

Err... Not that i condone censorship (as long as it isn't about hurting others), but for me the thought corridor and censorship situation in the US erodes the soap box this grand stand is made from. Add to this that the reason for the grand stand is because it is American companies being censored, rather than the fact that companies are being censored it further tarnish position of the ranter.

I don't know, I feel like there are no right choices here. Regardless of your position it is open for attack, and as that, taking a position at all is admirable. I just wish it was more clear that free speech was the sole issue.

Without the online safety act I would never have known SaSu even existed.
