United Kingdom

Because it's not about the kids.

The UK, or any government, could instead use the money for OSA to create a protocol/mandate that phone and net providers need to adhere to, which enables parents to restrict to adult content. Heck, phone-only sims and adult traffic control administered via "parent accounts" would deal with almost the entire problem seeing how most young people use phones for internet access anyways instead of laptops and desktops.

But it's not about the kids. It's about control and having an excuse to abolish privacy.

Sir, I will refer you to my previous reply.

LOL wut you expect me to actually parent My children? LOL gtfo. All I care about is sourdough and designer dogs. Let the government do it!

You can still Google image search "tits". The OSA doesn't stop that.

I don't know why households couldn't just have a setting with their ISP that allows them to opt in/out of blocking non-OSA compliment sites rather than doing a blanket censorship.

Yes. I would rather have feds and corpos control what my kids can and can't access.

We really are headed into two tier society... People who take digital sovereignty seriously and the useful idiot slaves

Hoarding is the best plan for maintaining access to information, but not for interaction. Get used to being asocial.

In relation to 4chan, I can't think of an easier scapegoat/opponent to use to justify blocking via ISP. And from a fines perspective...uh, that will be entertaining to watch, considering GDPR fines scenarios (not directly comparable but from a conceptual space)

you're being way too pessimistic about this. governments have been trying to block access to information online for decades, and it's never been successful. even if a future like you imagine comes to pass, VPNs don't need to be commercial, and they can also be peer-to-peer. if it gets anywhere as bad you think it will, we'll see a wider adoption of tech like I2P and local mesh networks, or people running their own shadow VPNs with their friends. it's one thing for them to go after mullvad or proton or whatever big VPN you like, but it's another thing entirely to squash private VPNs that people can already put up with very little effort. especially since they would have no idea they even exist.

you should absolutely fight censorship like this, but don't ever think that them passing legislation is the end of the fight. it's only the beginning, and there are millions more of us than there are of them.
