How it feels using TOR as a Brit rn 🤘
-
There is also VPN, but I hear they are trying to outlaw that in the UK too.
They have ruled out banning vpns for now but that's not to say that they won't just U-turn or that whoever gets in next won't ban them.
The UK's Trump whose party is currently the most popular in the UK and may win the next election (I hate this) has pledged to repeal this law but he's well known for making promises he has no intention of keeping and this law is very convenient as a means of censorship.

Low-key if you're that incompetent you don't know about any kind of parental blocking you shouldn't have kids in the first place. We really don't need more stupid in the gene pool
Unfortunately that's not how it works.

this is a good guide on how to use the browser safely:
Thank you

OBFS4 bridges.
Also the slower snowflake protocol that masks traffic as a video call protocol

Context: UK passed this online safety act thing a few days ago (source) where you have to verify your age on sites that might contain nsfw content and the checks involve stuff like uploading a photo of your face, ID or even your passport. if anything it's just making people more unsafe (look what happened with the Tea app which required similar verification (source)). ain't gonna dox myself to the government/companies and it's easily circumvented using TOR lol. fuck da system
80% sure that's a racoon, not a cat

Is it possible to choose an exit node? Because if the exit node's in UK, it presumably doesn't help with the geoblocking aspect.
It could be possible if they decide to implement that, since the TOR browser tells you the circuit (The path your connection takes) it could theoretically just request a new circuit until it gets an exit node that matches your preference. At least with the most basic implementation that's what could be done, not very optimized though.

As good at keeping his promise as Trump is! Which, of course, is why eggs are cheap, there are no more wars, and we have the full Epstine files. /S

wrote last edited by [email protected]I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don't give a shit about UK and don't require any verification. So once again, the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones. As predicted.

You are incorrect. That is a tortoise shell cat.

are you telling me the thing that's meant to harvest personal data isn't useful as a child protective tool?
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

It would be great to have a restriction stronger than "are you 18 years or older?" so I can let my kids roam the internet without care. But this is a bit backwards.
Or just be a good parent and don't rely on censorship laws to be your babysitter.

Obviously, but not everyone is a good parent. What happens to those kids?

I just hope they won't move toward the "oh, you use encryption? Let's see how it protects you from solitary in jail" step too fast.
And no, I'm not sarcastic, I'm worried.

Can’t be a popsicle until you ram a stick up me.

They end up the same as all of us.
