I learned today that the UK's Internet censor, Ofcom, will, tomorrow, fine U.S. website Sanctioned Su*c*de £1,000,000.

SaSu has comprehensively voluntarily geoblocked the UK. Ofcom is fining the site anyway.

I have thoughts.

If the United States Congress wants to step in to protect the American Internet from becoming a mandatory-ID, privacy-free, censorship hellscape, and prevent our Web from becoming a digital colony of the UK, now would be a very good time to take action.

I’ll be on @CapX with @marcsidwell next week explaining why this policy is turbo dumb, won’t work, and will make British Internet users less safe.

@LogicPractice Duh

The U.S. seems determined to pick a fight with the UK this week.

I wonder why.

🚨BREAKING: The United States government has sent official condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom

The US cares more than Keir Starmer.

Here’s what prominent Brits said as America’s cities burned.

Very fortunately, protesters mourning Nowak have not ignited infrastructure, murdered anyone, or otherwise cut an antisocial swathe of destruction through the UK. To the extent any of them care what America thinks, we urge them to remain peaceful—and we expect they will. Just like Henry Nowak and just like Americans, ordinary Brits have been slandered as racist. Thus violent. They’re not.

The Freedom of Speech Bill is the most serious UK speech legislation drafted in a generation. @RestoreBritain_ has aligned with parts of it. Should the party adopt it whole? @Harry_pitt, full analysis below. Cases, consequences, gaps.

Please enjoy the my recent podcast appearance on About Logic with Deniz and Thorsten. We got into so many different philosophical issues in the foundations of mathematics, with a few pointed disagreements. https://t.co/CTLZlsY57b

Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.

The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.

[Preston Byrne @prestonjbyrne]

No, but some adult who is buying an Apple device for the first time today will have to show their papers before they can use the Internet.

Here’s hoping this law gets struck down as savagely as it deserves to be.

Magnificent, magical building. I visited it yesterday afternoon.

[Preston Byrne @prestonjbyrne]

Reform has pledged to repeal the Online Safety Act and the Equality Act, and likely also intends to bin the Human Rights Act.

You gotta stand *for* something, tho - and replace these laws with something better.

Might I suggest a Freedom of Speech Act?

@Jeremy_Tedesco The one reason I am grateful that government moves at government speed on the EU/UK though is that I get to fight the censors in the meantime.

It’ll be sad when Uncle Sam finally stops them. I will need new hobbies!
