Just mind-boggling stuff. The half was already over! The fact the ref actually had to call the Racing guys back from the changing rooms to serve the red card and play the penalty was bonkers

@donaldturvill Tbf, I do quite like sweetcorn. I might be the target audience…

@chris_teal @Seoirse_ They already use AI to help identify fraudulent transactions. Thats been going on for years. This is no change to that.

@mangowhizz @Seoirse_ As they are using AI to determine what gets held and what goes through expect a massive shit show of false positives.

@christiancalgie Hoes Tube??? 😧 They always seemed so respectable 😢

Ofcom has launched investigations into numerous porn sites for not complying with the new age verification requirements The phrase 'Streisand effect' comes to mind

what the FUCK is this record store playing this is the most distressing shopping experience i've ever had

I don’t want to believe it, but the Centrist Dad criticism of the last government – they were incompetent because they were all immensely thick – does provide a parsimonious explanation for e.g. this:

@PerthshireMags Randomly setting them at the same level as… The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is quite the bit.

When an unstoppable force (environmental review) meets an immovable object (also environmental review):

@__Nonsensical @s8mb Yep, UK ISPs are required by law to retain information on domains visited and provide it to law enforcement and other government agencies on request. That ‘s been the case for years.

@s8mb That's a odd argument, given that without an VPN, your ISP, and in many cases your government, can record all of your internet use.

The sad thing here is that the Technology Secretary doesn’t know an actual reason not to use a VPN, which is that they see and can record all of your internet use. (Which is itself a reason this law is so terrible.)

@RamVasuthevan @s8mb It depends on your VPN tbf.

@s8mb Better the VPN then your ISP

@CMid97 @bingbongscho You what? She was literally a cabinet member of the Government that passed it.

@bingbongscho Badenoch has consistently opposed to be fair to her.

The Left: The Online Safety Act is bad Liberals: Yep Conservatives: We agree Populist right: Us too Literally nobody except those who will shill for everything this government does supports this law

In the U.K., you need to verify your age before you can see the harmful content of … men’s fashion.

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

You know you really thought it would be sorta gradual. It's gone from porn to music in a week.

Just sent off an email saying warmest “retards” instead of “regards”

@LukeDyks @shawncbrown Well tbf, the law applies to service providers, not individuals. So there is not any law to actually get around from a strictly legal perspective. But I certainly agree it’s a stupid badly drafted law that will only have negative side-effects on a few different levels!

@LukeDyks @shawncbrown The problem is not people using VPNs – in an ideal world everyone would be doing that tbh. It’s that most of them will be using really shitty free ones that will quite happily sell their data straight to the FSB.
