As I mentioned in a previous thread on this topic, the purpose of this act is NOT to make every website that operates in the UK adhere to these policies, it's to make sure that every website operator in the UK can be hauled in front of a court as and when it strikes the government's fancy. Everyone will be breaking the law by default. It's important to remember this.
Your average brit will not notice any difference in their daily browsing; it's more nefarious than that.
I suggest they start with Yandex and see how that goes for them.
The bad part is really all the typical big tech social media will just do all this moderation and such for them while bowing down and saying "yes, master." Then a few years from now a flood of normies, "Well of course I am happy to give my identity to use a website, and it's a good thing that I am monitored in case I wrongspeak."

People don't like this idea because it's more "big government" or unfair to the poor corporations, but this is why we need to use our competing power structure (USgov) and make it illegal for US companies to comply with their laws. We're letting other countries work together and bully our people like the mafia. In Japan when the government wanted to crack down on the yakuza they made it illegal for private businesses to pay them protection money. Yes it hurt in the beginning, but eventually it broke the rackets because the yakuza had a harder time forcing anyone to comply if they would get punished for doing so. Sure if a foreign nation still keeps harassing our citizens and they get squeezed from both directions, we can pull out bigger guns like tariffs and sanctions, but if you don't apply any incentive from our side the corporations will always cuck out at the slighted pressure. This also needs to apply to advertising boycotts IMO.
tl;dr US first amendment needs to be forced on X so when India or UK asks Elon to delete 10,000 problematic accounts he can say "Sorry I have to follow American law."
Even alternatives like Rumble essentially pulled out of the French & Brazilian markets entirely over government censorship requests way less intrusive than this.
Even Elon & Twitter talked tough but folded overnight with that control freak judge in Brazil asking for critics to be doxed and deplatformed.
There is no opposition from big tech…Elon pretending to be opposed to censorship like he has is all part of the show. As we see the censorship ramp up, we are going to see even more controlled opposition right wing politicians and influencers pretending they’re fighting back against censorship but ultimately, they will fail to put a stop to the censorship because their job was to make you think you had some powerful people on our side fighting for your interests, when in reality, there was never any powerful people on our side. That’s how they prevent us from organizing real opposition movements they don’t control, movements that could easily shift into a serious problem for them. Their job is to keep us on the reservation with people like Trump and Elon, along with the Joe Rogans of the influencer world, etc. Real opposition movements will be censored to death or face a widespread coordinated campaign to slander those movements everywhere, especially among their paid shill right wing influencers, who will say the target group is all feds or whatever, until nobody wants to join them.
Well yeah, (((big tech))) and all (((western governments))) are on the same page, they’re all planning to implement the same draconian policies so there will be no pushback when it’s forced on the first western population. Our enemy will get their digital ID in place and soon after that, the social credit system will enslave everybody, UNLESS we are irate and very loud about our refusal to comply….we can force them to back down, at least in the U.S., if they see that a large number of us are so pissed off that they have to be concerned about what comes next from the general public. Do I think the general public has the motivation to force them to back down? No, but one can hope.
Remember to report Google and YouTube and Facebook for not manually approving EVERYTHING. Any time any post of yours goes live in a couple seconds, it is physically impossible for it to have been manually reviewed, report it, get the website removed from the UK.
If you're IN the UK, remember to sue like a bad American stereotype. Amazon item looks a bit different color than the pictures? There was no manual review, sue! Doordash food isn't identical to the advertised picture? Sue the restaurant, Doordash, AND the gov't itself for insufficient enforcement of their law.
They will be working with on cross-border online safety and the UK Government wants the act to be the foundation for online safety laws in every other country.
Democrats don't have the votes to amend the first amendment, and Twitter will still be hosted in the US, so the target of this law is beyond their reach. They seem to forget that we haven't been under their rule for about 250 years now.
However, the growing presence of disinformation poses a unique threat to our democratic processes and to societal cohesion in the UK and must be robustly countered.
Funny how social cohesion doesn't matter when it comes to immigration, gender ideology, COVID, censorship, and so on. It's never a big deal when social cohesion is deliberately destroyed by the government, but you better believe they will say social cohesion is important for the fate of the country when it suits them.
Sure wish I had the sort of power to respond with
"Boko Haram of England has fined us several million dollars due to a report done by one of our citizens on exposing the paki-bongistani sex slave trafficking. Clearly, this is a demand for 'jizya' because they are lazy parasites. In response to their harassment of our banking services, we are preparing a saturation missile campaign to remove these arrogant roaches. Shock and awe! It will be wild!"
I hope youtube content creators like Ptolemy gets out of Britain and settle somewhere else like US. Commonwealth countries are going to be similar position as UK in a matter of time because I find anglo-westoids to be a bit complacent when it comes to free speech and freedom of act.
Really shows how the blob cannot survive with free speech.
When democrats steal the midterms - expect to see this on page 83,451 of a “must pass” budget bill.
(or republicans will roll it out to “prevent antisemitism”)

It should be illegal for US Companies to comply. That's a great idea. Huge fines if they comply.

It's not like he has armies or a police force to back him up.

Malicious compliance is the way
10 years ago western governments and ''watchdogs'' were still pretending to be shocked by the Great Firewall of China.
Now they make the exact same shit.
It sounds like the UK is going to really get cut off from the internet.
Democrats don't have the votes to amend the first amendment, and Twitter will still be hosted in the US, so the target of this law is beyond their reach. They seem to forget that we haven't been under their rule for about 250 years now.
They're going to get the UK delisted from US sites or they'll keep this on the books to selectively enforce against anti establishment sites
The UK with two leftist parties.
Only two?

There it is.
Commie Bugs meme -
your democracy?
our democracy
any non-uk company that gets a fine should tell them to fuck off. they don't have jurisdiction.

Sounds like I need to block all UK IP addresses from any of my services
They'll probably try to do it for you. Not well, but they'll try.
