Every morning I scroll through memes and they are all the same. I just wonder why does this one get so many up votes. I don't get why it's so popular.

German humour, you wouldn’t get it.
We need to mock the British more, they don't get anywhere near what they deserve.
Fully agree.
We do, it’s just it’s less effective when done in English
Its such bullshit though. No one hates our government more than we do.
The empire where the sun never sets... except digitally...
Also, make sure you pay your TV licence!
Having seen the utter shit other countries have on TV, the licence stays.
Did something happen to UKs internet?
UK now requires a lot of websites to age check their users.
What happened is that a lot of websites either had to implement a way to check users ages or block users from UK completely.
A good example here is Imgur which blocked UK users. What inspired this meme for me is this blog post posted on Hacker news.
Oh man...do they also try to throw a "to protect the kids!"-sticker Onto that destructive bullshit?
That is literally the expressed reason for it. Think of the children. And people are like, "YEAH PROTECT THE CHILDREN, DISMANTLE ALL CIVIL RIGHTS, WE ARE BEING INVADED BY PEDOPHILES, ONLY WAY TO FIGHT THEM IS TO END DEMOCRACY AND LET CORPORATIONS TAKE OVER!"
That is the disgusting part. I mean yeah, pedos are legion and should be dealt with, but all those measures won't gonna do it. Not even remotely.
I'm just so tired of being constantly fed bullshit and lies. We're not all apathic or ignorant goddamit.
Truth is our Politician's are so out of touch with the time.
Chat control for one allows governments to read all chats, but at the same time reading and opening physical mail is still considered illegal.
Same with age verification some of these politicians thing it would work like going to the amusement park and getting your height checked to ride the rollercoaster.
Theres porn on the Internet and we all know kids are incapable of doing something like going to page 2 of Google results.
Meanwhile 4chan ignored it. Got a fine and laughed. Then as far as I can tell, nothing happened. They are not going to pay the fine because why the fuck would they? 4chan still works just fine in the UK, you don't even need a VPN.
I'm not convinced this is the reason for the Imgur block. They were asked by the UK about how they processed the data for minors at the start of the year. They refused to provide it, and were then fined. When the age check was implemented I think they used that as an excuse to block the UK, so they "weren't operating in it" and didn't need to answer the questions.
The UK gov disagrees with that and is planning more legal action iirc.
If they had done the block without that law, people would be asking why they were not revealing how they process data of minors.
Should just ignore all messages from the UK. 4chan still works here and they are refusing to pay the fine.
oOOH they LIKE that! "How old are you child? Are you 7? 8? 9? Because if you're 18 we are not interested. There is no way this can backfire, see, come here why don't you give me your data and your mobile phone number. Are you old enough to have a government ID yet? No? Goood, goood."
Sign in with Facebook is probably a huge hit /s
Imgur blocking is a bit of a pain - half the mods in steam are missing images in their description.
The online safety act also means we get to submit ID to view anything construed as "adult". Very "av you got a loiscencse for that" these days without a VPN.
Very soon, you'll need a VPN loicence.
Yep, because it was never about protecting the children ;)
I FEEL SO MUCH GOD DAMNED SAFER THANK GOD THAT THIS ENDED PEDOPHILIA AND TERRORISM SUCH A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THAT
I COMPLETELY AGREE - THIS ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
Don’t know. No problems for me (UK).
Same here. No idea what anyone is talking about.
What do you mean old chap?
I’m Dutch today.
The one time it doesnt say "content not available in your region"
Coming to America. I tried to watch porn and it was blocked in Virginia. I'm in Maryland
Don’t worry. It’s just a couple of bots arguing with each other or an ad. You aren’t missing much.
Just get a VP.... ooooooooooooooh....
Unfun fact: a good part of the internet goes down every time there's a football match in Spain, because the government gave a football league access to the national internet blocklist to stop piracy or smth and they put the entirety of Cloudflare on there
