Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Expecting overseas companies to abide by your laws is quite bizarre, just block them in the UK and move on.
No infrastructure for having the British government blacklist sites today. You'd need a British version of what China and Russia run today. Could be that they'll wind up adding it.
They'll tell the ISPs to block 4chan's IP addresses. It's what they've done with tpb and others. Next they're coming for VPNs under the whole "won't somebody think of the children" play.
I really wish somebody thought of the children (and young people) - the biggest enemy here is the government, using these people as tools for their authoritarian plans
