I wonder if it’ll make sense to redirect all our friends from UK to https://www.ofcom.org.uk whenever site may contain “potentially harmful for children” content and the service is unable to perform age verification? Apparently Wikipedia lost their appeal case, and many sites are jumping onto that band wagon. For now Nostr is likely safe due to it being not as popular or have large number of UK visitors. What a clusterfuck this whole OSA is. Shame.

The sooner they feel the pain the better.
That’s the hope
A few services blocking UK won’t do much, but if done as protest, citizens will have no choice but make noise - hopefully enough to change things.
It's deeply unpopular
Petitions don’t mean jack. Plus, it’s only unpopular among minorities, where majority “feels safer”
I wasn't posting this as a solution, I was posting this as an indication of sentiment. Bearing in mind most people don't bother to sign petitions because they tend to not mean anything.
Redirect to ofcom? 🤔
Not sure it's all that helpful, we know the problem lol. Perhaps redirect to a solution? mulvad?
Block and redirect to the reason, so people can take their anger at the target that caused the pain
We know.
It's also both major political parties.
It's deeply unpopular, but that doesn't seem to matter.
Maybe a mass protest? Like when Britain's largest protest against the Iraq war famously stopped the Iraq war?
VPN usage in UK is at an all time high, this is another good indication of how deeply unpopular it is and is an act of civil disobedience.
Just learnt this.... Apparently signposting to a VPN is criminal fyi.
The true shame is how willing the masses are to conform to the will of tyranny. How, after the last 5 years, can anyone care what a group of child rapists thinks the world should do? “Ah the pedophiles say I have to age-verify my site, sorry everyone, please enter your date of birth here.” The retardation level is SO high. People have forgotten how to tar and feather and it shows.
