I didn't comment either obviously

But, now this is a hot news story

It's a human condition to walk headlong into draconian injustice and then it all kicks off when it's too late.

do you think it's too late? It certainly feels like these last few months have seen a bunch of these internet gate-keeping things come into force, making them real for people, despite having been on the horizon for quite some time.

As you point out, people don't pay attention to things and don't act until they are compelled to.

Maybe we need the pressure to create incentives for new solutions. Hopefully age-verification and safety acts will lead to a bunch of tools for circumventing online gate-keeping.

Or we are just screwed and are only beginning to realize the extent.

2025 is the year we lost the anonymous internet in the west. Cannibalized by the “Post Covid Karenesque”, who foolishly call upon the 4 horsemen of the infopocalypse to control the masses.

Resist censorship through routing through friendlier exits. The internet was invented for this very reason.

There could be many reasons why they didn’t receive any comments. One of them is that the website doesn’t even exist anymore — it’s up for sale. The truth is, rules like that don’t matter much; they only push people who are already disillusioned with state power further in search of more freedom. The things mentioned in the regulation are so useless and easy to bypass that they’re not even a real concern.
