You can always place the VPN server overseas and access from there, like anyone would, using a VPN. Still, though, the UK somehow speed through to fascism faster than Australia did.

Someone said it here first-

the more the country has been stolen from the native people. The greater the urgency for fascism to control what they can see and learn.

But this is not a product fascism. It is a product of the “democracy” we were promised. This is the end result.

/Fascism is the solution you are programmed to ignore.

A democracy where elections are stolen using money is fascism.

Democracy does not end any other way. Even the ancient Greeks who created it predicted it would always end up exactly like this.

Money? They flat-out declare elections invalid when they don't get their way.

The results of the Romanian elections was overturned because a populist nationalist came ahead in the first turn.

The use of money to buy influence of politicians is a natural feature of democracy. That is exactly why the elites support it.

Feel free to provide a solution to this problem, using democratic means, and explain how you were the first to solve this problem while all others nations have failed to do so.

The problem comes when a company allows someone with a VPN in the UK to access a site and then it comes out that user was from the UK (from other colluding evidence). At that point, the website is stuffed legally as it allowed someone from the UK to access its website and is therefore under the eyes of Ofcom, under its jurisdiction. Everyone is playing a "don't care, not blocking VPN" until someone gets investigated and fined.

That's not how jurisdiction works. It's been a long time since Britain ruled the world. Have those island retards not noticed they don't have an empire anymore?

Yes I don't find this to be a very compelling request to a foreign government: "someone from the UK broke our laws and pretended to be from another country to access a website owned by someone in your country that doesn't offer services in the UK. Please assist us in levying a ruinous fine on the company based out of your country that doesn't do business in the UK."

The US in particular under Trump would almost assuredly tell them to go fuck themselves.

As far as Ofcom and the law is concerned, a website is responsible for content served to a UK citizen, regardless if that individual is using a VPN or not. The problem is, how would a website tell if a VPN user is from the UK or not? At this moment, websites are just saying "don't care" but all it will take is one investigation that finds a UK citizen viewed a website via a VPN and they're stuffed.

Now a website could tell Ofcom to jog on but then we go down the murky road that Brazil faced with X.

British law may say that those snaggle-toothed humanoids have global jurisdiction, but good luck enforcing it when every other nation claims sovereignty over their own lands.

Enforcing any sort of punishment outside of their jurisdiction is going to require the cooperation of the country where the website is actually based.

Now, countries do often assist each other in law enforcement, but in a situation like this it's most probable that the host country will simply check to see if the website met their own standards of due diligence in attempting to comply with UK law- which would probably be simply blocking all traffic from the UK.

I can't see any country requiring their website operators to employ expensive and sophisticated technology to attempt to suss out whether or not a connection is a VPN and whether or not it ultimately redirects to the UK. They have a vested interest in the economic success of their companies, and they are not going to make them take unreasonable measures to comply with obtuse foreign laws.

LOL. Gab is constantly faced with these "lawful orders". Andrew Torba posts them regularly along with his reply to go pound sand as it's not his duty to obey foreign laws. Germany has been hilariously hounding him for years to supply data on suspected German citizens that have committed wrongthink. He often replies with the same memes the German government has deemed illegal.

a website is responsible for content served to a UK citizen

Why the focus on VPNs? If that statement is accurate, then no website can detect if content is served to a UK citizen traveling abroad. Which would make even blacklisting the entire UK and all known VPNs insufficient. Which is probably the interpretation they're hoping for.

They still have a lot of influence. About half of India considers itself British. About half of England thinks Scotland is British and should be ruled over it like they do the rest of the North.

I think one of the reasons why Ireland is reacting is because they had multiple attempts in the last century or two to be replaced by 'British'.

until someone gets investigated and fined.

Then let them enforce it. Anyone running a website that isn't hosted in the UK can simply tell them to go fuck themselves, and the UK will have zero recourse. This is all bark and no bite.

I'm sure some anti child porn or terrorism laws can be used in this case.

Respond with "The british government has been marked as a cartel actively involved in the production and distribution of child pornography and trafficking of children."

"In accordance of regulation FW-61: Privateers to target human traffickers, a bounty of 100 gram of 24-karat gold per verified capture will be issued. Any british agent thus captured must be brought to the assay office for verification along with the original of the Governor's signed Letter of Marquee issued to the Privateer."

Bitchute should move to the USA to solve this.

UK government to american company that has no office in the UK :

''Block VPNs so our prisoners can't be exposed to Wrongthink on your website, OR ELSE!''

''Or else what? We're not in the UK. Go fuck yourselves. ''

They're speed running now that the House of Windsor is headed by a champion of the WEF. The aristocracy has pull. Australia doesn't have this so the wind can shift there.
