Happen to have a link? I could not really find anything.
Awesome thanks! 🙏
how much of your traffic is from the UK? nevermind don't answer that, curious tho 😂 if anyone exists over ther.
A plenty to be worried about this
To avoid prosecution would need to also censor content if it ‘could’ be for UK citizen? Ie via vpn or tor
and now you see how fragile it all really is, the internet was never a human right, it was never speech. it is a harness of control and each country's ruling class wants their piece of whatever is left of your mush brain when they're done.
"for your safety"
Sheeple sleep, sheeple get harnessed
Hmm, interesting. No specific details on how they’d deal with companies not doing business in UK. Oh well.
They can sue you I guess, and UK has a lot of sway internationally
"The Act applies to services even if the companies providing them are outside the UK should they have links to the UK. This includes if the service has a significant number of UK users, if the UK is a target market, or it is capable of being accessed by UK users and there is a material risk of significant harm to such users."
This means that anyone who runs such a service can be denied entry to the UK, can be charged in abstentia and prosecuted on entry to the UK, or in extreme cases (and if treaties exist) can be extradited to the UK.
"The Act gives Ofcom the powers they need to take appropriate action against all companies in scope, no matter where they are based, where services have relevant links with the UK. This means services with a significant number of UK users or where UK users are a target market, as well as other services which have in-scope content that presents a risk of significant harm to people in the UK."
This is effectively toothless. If you are scared of that, I don't know what to tell you. They can shut you out but how is that any different than just self-censoring?
