#ofcom — Public Fediverse posts

@neil have they done a better job of isolating small/home systems from this than #ofcom ? Didn't see it in the blog post, so is everyone running their own servers now expected to sign up to the thing they don't know about "or else"?

Ofcom’s quest to censor the world | spiked

[Ofcom] wants, it seems, pre-emptive powers to block access to sites operating anywhere in the world, should they be deemed harmful to people in the UK. This is authoritarian nonsense on any number of levels … an unelected agency is spending its time digging around the internet looking for material it would like to stop us seeing … [T]he issue here is material that’s harmful to children and sites such as suicide forums. But it is a racing certainty that any such powers, if given, will be invoked to go well beyond suicide forums.

Quick #rant. Any customer service on hold message that says that they are busier than normal are lying. Since Covid they have simply not invested in customer service and long wait times are a deliberate way to get you to sod off. Today I am battling with #RoyalMail. They want me to "show kindness and consideration to their team". Shame their management don't.

If I ever get through I want to ask them to stop sending me notifications for other peoples packages. If they aren't super helpful them I'm reporting a data breach to #OfCom.
