I made a promise to my brother (Warren) a while ago that I will not post anything overtly political because it is something that only further compounds my misery. This will be the only time that I ever speak about it publicly and I will throw myself in front of a bus if I ever do again. It is rather unfortunate that I feel like I'm having my hand forced because I believe the people who are running this country, whichever party happens to be in control, are morons. They are all morons, have always been morons, and will continue to be morons, with no understanding of the way things work in the modern world.

This time, it seems they are about to take a fat steamy turd on the Internet, specifically the new 'Online Safety Bill' which is to be signed into UK law tomorrow. Naturally it's a bill the size of a phone book, filled with nonsense legalese that leaves enough room for broadly vague interpretations of what the fuck this is actually for. I know they're making the claim this is to "protect children", but I know for certain this is bullshit, because companies like Roblox still let people host those 'condo servers' which are definitely exposing children to the naughty stuff, but because they earn shit-millions of money, that doesn't even matter. I 100% expect this to be selectively enforced against websites which the UK government has a problem with, most likely Twitter because they are constantly at odds with maintaining the narrative at all costs. People in this country have lost trust in the BBC's ability to be impartial, and they trust the government even less, so naturally their solution will be more than likely to restrict people's access to social media like we're now the Republic of China. This line of thinking naturally has far reaching consequences, and while I personally don't like Twitter myself (I deleted my account half a year ago and abandoned it because of mega-depression), I don't know what this means for places which I actually use, like Discord, Telegram, and sites like e621 and FurAffinity.

So, where does that leave me? I have no clue, sorry.

Maybe my continued access to this place will be unaffected because of how end-to-end encryption works with https, which is an industry standard at this point in time. Maybe I'll have to just run this site through a VPN pipeline and view content that way. We'll just have to wait and see, then hopefully we can go back to being sexy and weird.

See ya...
