This stupid law needs repealing, or at least altering. It’s ridiculous to censor factual (well, at least – peer reviewed) information.
Sooooo…are we losing Wikipedia or just access to ‘mature’ pages??
If you haven’t already – you should get VPN, particularly the paid ones if you don’t want data leakage through a free VPN. Looks like I’ll be adding Wikipedia to my list of websites/apps that will have VPN applied automatically.
A spokesperson for the Labour Party clarified, “people accessing Wikipedia illegally are terrorist supporters.”
Given the coming of the AI and the fact that Western governments decided to double down on control and oppression, I would highly suggest that people download Wikipedia to their computer now, before it gets compromised too much somehow. It doesn’t take that much space if you only need the text, but also with pictures it shouldn’t be too much for an external hard drive I think.
They were always going to lose. Hopefully they’ll block the uk, with a big text saying “due to the uk government, we’re blocking access for uk users. Please contact your MP”
And see how that goes
This is just fucking unacceptable. There’s no reality where accepting this is okay. If your MP won’t repeal this, then take their fucking seat. Run against them. Fire take. Take their fucking job.
Edit: I’m fucking tired man. Does anyone know how to register as a candidate for any of Leicesters seats? I’ll do it my fucking self.
I think what is most bizarre to me about this whole act is that none of the politicians supporting it seem to actually know what it does
Labour has absolutely been shitting the bed and it’s almost funny. Just Torries in red
Pleeeease block the UK and let the UK Gov face the reality from this.
I can’t wait for Wikipedia to block themselves in the UK, to protect children of course…
So we’re protecting kids from wiki now? Can we just drop the pretence it had anything to do with porn and is nothing more than a massive online tracking effort.
Predicted this would happen, I have saved all Wikipedia pages I think I might need, as well as up to level 3 of Wikipedia’s recommended articles as pdfs. Hope it gets pulled from the uk so more people start to kick up a fuss
Id write to my MP but its Keir fucking Starmer and he clearly doesn’t listen to good advice.
Educate me. What’s stopping Starmer from repealing this law.
And a serious answer based on the legal restrictions. Not cos he’s a twat
Is it that bad that wiki contributors should be verified? What stops any random bad actor editing any page with false or shitty sources?
I hope Labour gets obliterated at the next election like the Tories did, and if Reform get in it’s entirely Labours doing.
I knew this was coming, Starmer was never going to make an exception for anyone as other companies would try to use the exception too
So Wikipedia will restrict access to UK users and the OSA defenders will continue to lie to you that it is only about protecting children when really the simple but harsh truth is an excuse to bad parents to blame their child neglect on big bad internet companies
I sent a message to my MP complaining about this law and have been totally ignored. Well that’s a vote she’s not getting again from me 😡
I’ve already written to my MP about this, but it’s just going to get worse unless the government repeal it. Introduced by Tories and carried out by Starmer’s Labour, just like everything else.
Well..say goodbye to Wikipedia. I hope they don’t capitulate and just go dark in the UK.
> She said they decided that Wikipedia “is in principle an appropriate service on which to impose category one duties” and how ministers arrived at that choice was not “without reasonable foundation nor irrational”.
[X] Doubt
Britfriends, you now have a universal shutdown phrase for all opposition to repealing the OSA.
“They blocked Wikipedia.”
Please use it.
I wonder how idiot-in-chief Starmer will explain how losing access to Wikipedia helps fight child pronography…
Do these MPs think kids are going to Wikipedia to find pictures of buttholes? What the fuck is actually happening that the UK is, more-or-less, censoring *the household-name encyclopedia*?
The best thing to do is for Wiki and others to just geo-block the UK, starting now.
I hope Wikipedia and other large websites block us. Don’t bother trying to argue around this ridiculous law, go scorched earth and ban us from everything. Only then will the government get the message.
The sheer arrogance of our Government to even pass this bill and expect everyone to bow down to it is disgusting. I can’t express how much I despise this administration. They had every chance to try and fix things from the last disastrous government, but instead they chose to continue fucking things up for everyone.
No Labour. No Tories.
Never again.
