Based small business

Please post this to r/Unitedkingdom.

UK has been on a killing small businesses streak since Brexit
-
Appropriate that being in the UK is the negative option here
-
Usually is.
-
Makes perfect sense, it's a proceed/go back option.
-
In this case it was some banter against Brits, but yeah

Frankly this is a comically brilliant and absolutely outstanding example of engineering malicious compliance

Sadly, will not actually be sufficient. They put the full burden of this shit on the site owner, all of it, without exception.
You could host in a country like Cameroon, they won't give a shit and EU won't bother going after them. They could geoblock the whole country however.

UK left the EU, so the EU won't be doing anything regardless of your host country.

Meh you just say “we don’t serve users from your country, we are not bound by your laws. users from the UK are breaking our tos”
-
It's pretty sufficient. I'm not British, I don't sell products in Britain, I do not have British assets, and I'm compliant with all American laws. They can levy all of the fines they want but I'm not obligated to care.

I recently looked through the requirements on Ofcom's website, and to me it sounded like every email service falls well into their "user to user communication" category, which would have to "assess the risks". It's not really different than communicating in an internet forum, except it's not public, but that's not really a factor i think. Sending porn via email is probably as old as email itself.
Email providers cant moderate their users' mails (i mean they could try, but that would likely be the end of them for the obvious breach in privacy). And having people have to age-verify for an email account would be ludicrous, especially considering children need emails for school, etc.
I wonder if they ever clarified anything about email services and how they would or would not be affected by this bullshit law.

You can get porn in a google image search, even in the UK. No ID or login required. I did see a comment about it not applying to search engines, which really does make you wonder what is the fucking point!!
-
Door to door mail could be considered user to user too. Oh wait, I shouldn't give them ideas.

I wonder if they ever clarified anything
No

even australia? or germany?

Nah, oz is cooked already, in this case 'social media ban' for under 16s, same identity/privacy issues no doubt once they get their shit together but this time you're giving ID to meta and tiktok instead of pornhub, significantly worse IMO. Germany's going after adblockers. Shit's bad out there...

i'm not sure australia is a real place tbh

This isn’t considered verification in the UK from what I can tell. Companies are now implementing AI face scans, ID checks and credit card verification to comply with the UK law. I’m not a lawyer or even British, but it wouldn’t make sense to me that companies would spend money to turn away their UK customers otherwise.
-
It says in the description that ID is required.

Just photoshop something together with a funny name.

It was my attempt at a funny comparison between that system and the one shown in the screenshot

Ironically, you can just lie to get past it.

TOR. The answer is TOR

Bandaid to a gunshot wound.
The answer is to make all those politicians (and that person who wanted to profit off from facial recognition) defending this law to regret even existing.

You're not supossed to capitalise it iirc.

Fantastic!

If they have no infrastructure or legal presence in the UK they are not required to do shit. The UK can block them but that's about it.
The UK does not have extraterritorial jurisdiction! Whatever stupid shit they do on their shitty little island does not affect foreign firms that do not operate there.
