And so it begins…
The era of global web comes to an end and we enter the age of fragmented local webs.
I2P is where hosting will end at this point
Just looked it up. Turns out I2P is a pretty interesting technology. This new rabbit hole will take a while to explore.
Atm most I2P websites are illegal stuff no one wants to look at, but with a good community backing we could make a home there as well, (nobody is banning the sale of network switches)
If not now with full internet censorship on the horizon, it will be later.
Yeah, I can imagine that all sorts of dark web stuff would naturally gravitates towards I2P. Sounds like the obvious choice. However, the recent age verification BS can speed up the process of normie sites too. If Lemmy admins are required to conform to age verification laws, it only makes sense to host the instance on I2P instead.
Lemmy admins are required to, but they can also tell the UK regulators to go fuck themselves. 4chan went with that approach. If you are not living or visiting the UK and are not selling products in the UK you don’t really need to respect UK law in any way.
So, how’re those fascist policies working out for you, Britain?
Making a lot of us angry. Unfortunately we are not as good as the french at complaining about it.
We also have the issue of this party being the better of the 2 viable options.
There’s talk of a new party forming, to the left of modern labour. Unfortunately, in a FPTP system, that can split the vote and make things worse, if done poorly.
What the hell is this website? Why isn’t this a news link?
I have no idea, but it was one of a few forums that reported it first before news sites even were aware of it. I posted follow-up here https://lemmy.zip/post/49951704
But… Hasn’t imgur been SFW only for a while now?
Maybe they got sent one of offcom’s shitty letters and are kneejerking to prove a point. Bit poor there’s been no statement from them before doing this.
They block porn afaik, but not journalism. Journalism is illegal in the UK so that is a problem of course.
Seriously tho what i mean is war footage, Gaza footage, images promoting “proscribed” groups, etc.
All things that children are not allowed to see, because we couldnt possible confront them with the war crimes that their parents are funding with their taxes.That’s unrelated to porn at least from what the ICO has disclosed. They are concerned about how Imgur handles children data’s. When a child subscribes and uploads data to their services. Which is obviously SFW. But one should take special care about those data which apparently Imgur doesn’t do. Like about everyone else though based on what I see around me… But sometimes regulatory bodies like setting examples and sending messages.
why? they already nuked the porn
When I visit imgur.com while on a VPN pretending I’m from the UK, it returns a “Imgur is temporarily over capacity, please try again later” error. Toggling it off and on goes from working fine to that same message over and over, so they either are having issues on servers that they are directing UK traffic to - which is possible - or they’re just pretending to be having capacity issues to not raise suspicion of not wanting to comply.
I’m getting this response from a uk IP:
{"data":{"error":"Content not available in your region."},"success":false,"status":400}This is what I get when viewing from the UK
