  • I was expecting this to read “The UK bans WhatsApp”

  • Perhaps a meshtastic delivered list of tor bridges or a wireless p2p internet . Digital dead drops

  • We need to build a decentralised internet quickly using I2P or something similar and scale and decentralise quickly. VPN’s will be the first to go then TOR after they attempt to control the exit nodes .

    We need to show the governments that we are allowed to use encryption and Wikipedia and not be treated as criminals for wanting privacy .

  • Light grey on pink is difficult to read , make the site accessible to blind too or partially sighted . Accessibility is important if we want to spread the word.

  • I’ve seen a few YouTube videos suggesting to follow the money. It suggests a lot of political lobbyists value a more restricted internet as they stand to profit . Interesting you mention the Catholic Church because someone else suggested these new laws will push children to more unregulated places further putting them at risk.

  • Only for UK but I’ve just seen the EU version

  • I then suggest we build a public list of MP’s that agree with us and those that don’t .

    We don’t have to just contact our local MP’s we could contact other political parties and their leaders with a little rewording of the above.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Fight back against the online safety act

  • And the steampunk guys to keep them on their toes haha

  • I don’t know. I’ve not used I2P before but I heard it was a decentralised internet just on a smaller scale like a WAN

  • Those LoRa devices like meshtastic look good. I don’t like the idea of TOR and I2C because it’s known to hold disgusting and concerning stuff. But the original principles of the internet and a Cipherpunk approach is on the way .

  • Yeah but who controls the on ramps for crypto, KYC is everywhere

  • I know you aren’t saying this. But it’s not just porn that’s the issue. It’s the wider scope this act encompasses and a trend other govs could follow. I use porn sure , but imagine your facial and sexual preferences leaking. What if you come from a religious family and you’re a lesbian and pitted by this?

  • With a payment method from outside the UK? Or crypto where most companies have KYC ?

  • Sure but someone hosts these services . I can make a VPN right now and the service is paid by my debit card.

  • The normies are mad . I use Arch BTW.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    What happens if the UK requires age verification for VPN’s
