Looks like it were gonna go back to private VPNs with 10/20 people putting in each month to pay someone in a unrestricted area to run them a VPN.
Keep it small, make it look like enterprise kinda shit.

Have the porn companies released numbers on how affected their traffic has been with an these new rules? I could see them not wanting to they're getting hurt but would be interesting to see
They don't need those wankers!
VPN industry .... EXPLODES!
And UK bollocks grew 5 shades bluer that winter
I just found out today due to work needs that Vimeo already does this.
TBH I didnt know Vimeo was anything like this.
A lot of sites had to block the UK like Imgur, or completely shut down like Urban Dead, because they aren't the kajillion dollar companies the UK government thought the Internet was made of. I don't know why the UK didn't enforce parental control software instead. OSA is a solution for a problem solved 30 years ago and is just going to destroy the Internet since it's not possible for the vast majority of it to adhere to its laws.

Are they partnered up with VPN companies by any chance?
Why did your politicians become right-wing grifters? Genuine question.

I’m actually a little concerned some of porn torrenting communities aren’t ready for the jump to i2p yet. Gaytorrents, for example, seems to think this all being blown out of proportion and couldn’t possibly effect them.
What specific knowledge you have
There are sages all around us. Sometimes tho ... Asking for their wisdom comes with a curse.
Apparently according to the users here I2P is a good tool, so any good guides on I2P ?
Would appreciate it. Been meaning to learn about I2P for a long time.
They want to stop us from gooning This is how it starts Then they move onto full internet censorship
Yes, porn is basically the "canary of the coal mine" of the internet & please use "masturbation", we are the sane ones here.
