Potentially hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement (https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/117236701809921531), Ofcom has today announced:

They say paid members can suggest topics for them to discuss, and all paid tiers are equal.
But perhaps some tiers are more equal than others.

Today's Ofcom news.
Ofcom shuts the fuck up and lets criticism of Nigel Farage distract from their incompetence, greed and support for genocide.
See? I'm not even calling Farage BrainFartMan in this toot. That's how bad Ofcom is.

Wbito kolejny gwóźdź do trumny wolności brytyjskiego internetu. Od dzisiaj ustawa "Online Safety Act" wprowadza nowe upierdliwe wymagania na dostawców usług. Za niedopełnienie obowiązków grozi maksymalnie kara w wysokości "jedynie" 18 milionów funtów.
Niech nas latający potwór spagetti chroni od takich pomysłów w Polsce.
