this wouldn't have happened if OFCOM had simply created a national IP blacklist. something they are loathe to do having criticised China as a totalitarian state for doing the exact same thing for roughly 16 years (was the Chinese firewall 2010? I forget and I'm not bothering to look it up).

so blocking 4chan is the key to solving violence against women and girls (is it really???) but OFCOM won't do it because that would make the uk a totalitarian state (which is it but won't admit. also operating a national censor doesn't really mean you're a totalitarian state). as always fuck labour.
