  6. Apparently us special UK people are going to get an extra treat…

  15. So, I've had a thought and I'd like anyone who actually knows about this sort of thing to tell me if this idea has legs or not.

    At some point I'm guessing that I'm going to have to identify myself to my laptop as an adult.

    The way I see it is that this does not mean that I have to identify myself as a specific adult, just that I am an adult.

    There is no way that I'm giving some random self assigned verification company anything important.

    So, my thought is that is there anything that I could, for example, stick on my skin that can approximate my age? I'm sure that there are all sorts of biometric measurements it could use to give a fairly good approximation.

    All of the issues like connectivity and security I'm sure could be addressed if the principle is good.

    Thoughts?

  20. The more corporations and the dirty politicians hiding cozily in their pockets try to centralize and control the Internet, the more the rest of us must push back by creating a free and decentralized Internet.

  24. how would we use the web itself if anything you posted on your own blog could subject you to legal repercussions from a town with 10 people you never heard of in another country, just because somebody there could browse to it? "free speech" would be limited to wealthy people with legal teams.

  27. If you run an online service, why do you have to follow laws in other jurisdictions to prevent people from those jurisdictions from accessing your service?

    Their government should only be able to regulate the people and businesses of their jurisdiction. Their government should have to try to force their local ISPs to prevent access to whatever "bad content" is now deemed illegal to access.

    You know, like other dictatorships.

    They NEED to see the porn though so they can judge it as being bad for the rest of us plebs.

    All perfectly normal.

    “Love how we're simultaneously being told 16 year olds are mature enough to vote, but not mature enough to hear naughty words on Spotify”
