I’m not an expert but I feel like organizations like Wikipedia that are not based in the UK and do not do business in the UK shouldn’t fight or comply with this nonsense. If the British government instructs ISPs to block access to Wikipedia, let them, and see the uproar it generates.
I agree they should block all UK ip addresses and issue a disclaimer that this is due to the online safety act. Not being able to access the Wikipedia will make the citizens petition the government to repeal the act.
No, I think they should ignore it and let the British government do what they will. Again, they are not bound by UK legislation. Similarly they don’t block Chinese IPs because of censorship laws over there.
Even as an American with everything going on here, this bullshit makes me feel bad for the Brits. How fucked up is that?
To be honest, we already pitied them for the food and weather.
Off topic but food in the UK, at least in some parts, is pretty good these days. Whenever I return to Canada from the UK it feels like a step down in quality of food. Their supermarkets have some really nice stuff, there is lots of good international food, and the fast food is way better. The bad food stereotype is a hangover from past times I think.
Depends where in Canada, I never had a complaint about bad food in Montreal, but Winnipeg’s grocery stores left me wanting a bit.
