Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

4chan are reinforcing the government by doing this.

Having a website that is famous for regularly having CSAM on it make itself the center of attention in opposition to a law that claimed to protect children only reinforces the argument.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 58 points 1 week ago (2 children)

hasn't the government been low-key doing the "people who have a problem with this law are probably pedos" thing?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 48 points 1 week ago

Yes. Not even low-key.

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah apparently if you are against the online safety act you’re working in collusion with the ghost of Jimmy Savile. (Link for the unaware, Britain’s Jeffrey Epstein)

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But isn't he a UK national treasure? or has he been disgraced now?

I mean he’s dead, and after his death the sexual crimes allegations came out, so yeah his reputation couldn’t be lower. Also he was a friend of thatcher and always deeply creepy so I wasn’t exactly a big fan before he died, and with all the rumours that was hardly a unique opinion at the time either, so I wouldn’t strictly call him a national treasure.

I was going to post let-them-fight but with strike through but it only works on text. [~~let-them-fight~~] I guess.

Can this somehow result in the destruction of both 4chan and the UK government?

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I couldn't care less about what a bunch of greasy racist losers do

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 59 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You mean 4chan, or the br*tish?

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

Por qué no los dos?

Wait kiwi farms is still around???

[–] whatdoiputhere12@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it was only that cloudflare stopped hosting them, they’re still around

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 week ago

Unsurprising but disappointing

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

When did kiwi farms come back? I thought they got sued into oblivion

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 37 points 1 week ago

Nazis get free reign to do whatever they want

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

nah, they just got banned from cloudflare so they were only down for a few weeks

[–] dastanktal@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you know how badly you have to fuck up to get banned off of Cloudflare? 🫠

[–] underisk@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you can be an open neo-nazi website literally called the "Daily Stormer" and Cloudflare still won't ban you from their platform until you (correctly) imply that their inaction in the matter is the result of them sharing your ideology.

[–] dastanktal@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

I tried to get a scam site that literally steals people's money banned and they wouldn't do anything about it, so I'm not even slightly surprised about this.

[–] FuckBigTech347@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 week ago

They were never down completely, they just temporarily disappeared from the clearnet for a bit. They have their own Onion service.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

does the UK have discovery?

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The notorious troll sites filed a lawsuit in U.S. federal court

Oh… well like Sun Tzu always said, “never stop your enemy when they’re making a mistake”

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Doxxing yourselves to own the Brits

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But I thought porn was d*generate and pushed by da joooooz?

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But at the same time I've found nazi porn channels on telegram, filled with softcore lesbian porn with photoshopped black suns and etc, seeing a peepee makes it gay

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Fucking dorks.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

idk about gay, but it always made perfect sense to me for people to not want to crank it to people they aren't attracted to.

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Tbf, that might be the fault of the fascist women. After all, the whole "gay Nazis" thing was never exclusively male, and I'm sure the lesbian military culture of Western countries in the late 20th century and into the 2000s only made that problem worse. So it might be lesbians posting some of that, not just hypocritical straight men.

Couldn't they just side step this whole thing by geofencing the site?

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah…poor UK. Nice knowing y’all.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 week ago

gonna get Anonymoused into oblivion!
