As shitty as 4chan is, as dumb and pointless as that UK legislation is, we STILL invited Trump to dine with the King. The Royal family didn't even invite thier own pedo.
4chan is an extreme example of an unmoderated site - indeed it's what the OSA was designed to combat. If this legislative test fails, it would undermine the acts legitimacy, and provoke questions as to it's existence.
It's a shit law - it's not fit for purpose. Its sole reason for existence is to controle public speech, not protect the children.
UK is ultra lame for this.
Most fucking annoyingest law ever.
I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.
We're allowed to call it retarded now at least
/s
the UK is fucked
At least they are a little less fucked now lmao
4chan is full of assholes, but blocking websites is pretty fucked. what person wants their government doing that?
None of us do. Most of us have started using VPNs ever since this law came into effect.
I never thought I'd be siding with 4chan.
Just to let you know I was never a 4chan user.
That catchca is fucking ass. Who the hell wants to do that every post?
Back in the day it was humorous, because every 4chan poster 'knew' to replace the word that was obviously the unknown word with a slur, curse, pejorative, or random word. Like, how did 4chan not get ripped from being able to use capcha?
That's exactly what a 4chan user would say... *narrows eyes in suspicion*

Well fuck the UK but lolz at 4chan. Once, long ago, they were a place to watch faces of death type stuff. And it went downhill from there.
Welp, i agree with 4chan.
Having Fedi folks agreeing with 4chan is not on my bingo card this year, or ever.

I hate agreeing with fucking 4chan but fair
I might not like what you have to say, but I'll defend to death, your right to say it kinda shit
The permission of unrestricted hate speech is what leads the people like your current president being your current president.
