      Seems like they are trying to get as many users signed up before 2nd Feb as possible.

      >In a call on Tuesday, leadership at Aylo and **Ethical Capital Partners (ECP)**, which acquired Aylo in 2023, said that after six months of complying with the UK’s Online Safety Act, it’s made the choice to restrict access in the country entirely.

      >“We have seen six months of failure out of the United Kingdom, once again, not because OFCOM is failing, but because the law is failing,” Friedman said. “And for that reason, from the ECP perspective, as the ownership group of Aylo, **we want laws around the world that protect children**.”

      Wasn’t this the same website that had so much child pornography and revenge porn, they opted to just delete all non-verified videos than actually moderate??

      I’m okay – I live in Poland, or maybe Hungary, or was it Bosnia, oh, Croatia …. I get about …

      Edit: I have PIA on this machine, but I bought an Invizbox a few years ago which means I can VPN through that without needing a pay for another VPN app on mobile or other devices. Solid bit of kit. https://www.invizbox.com/shop/. (not affiliated in anyway, just trying to be helpful).

      Hope more companies restrict access to us so our dumb as shit government gets the message that the OSA is a bunch of bullshit.

      In the meantime get a VPN.

      I, for one, am looking forward to a new golden age of tatty porno mags returning to British hedgerows.

      Well, they can have my face if they want it. I didn’t know why, I certainly don’t.

    9. Ok-Inflation4310 on

      Are there any other porn sites that won’t be available?

      Asking for a friend.

      The Online safety act is failing in so many ways. This is 1 more example. A site that for the most part followed rules (for checks, content and even consent etc before OSA) and had vanila porn is now going to block UK as its just to much cost\hasle\risk.

      The only reason they bothered in the first place was that they had (like a lot of the larger more reputable ones that also followed the rules) a presence\offices or similar in the UK so risk was that they could be fined

      This left all the others (the smaller\more dodgy sites ) that did not have a UK presence available to UK viewers and these sites contained everything not just vanila but extreme including animal . They are still there, still accessible and even more popular because they dont require age checks

      Now they want to do the same for VPN… Which will again effect the big companies or the UK based ones whilst allowing the more dodgy ones to thrive..

      I’ve been in Estonia for a few months now. This doesn’t affect me here in Stockport

    14. TheCharalampos on

      Plenty of sites that host porn without any of the (frankly limited) filtering or safeguards that pornhub has that I guess the UK goverment wants people to use instead?

      Fortunately I still have Mrs Brown’s tits in the wank bank. Circa 1980.

    16. cvslfc123 on

      I haven’t knocked one out in the UK since this ridiculous thing started.

      I’ll carry on going abroad.

      North Macedonia seems to also remove Reddit adverts. Why not browse the internet from there.

    19. Disgruntled__Goat on

      Am I missing where they state what the actually issue is? They already added age verification, why remove it?

    20. samsaBEAR on

      Still a fuck tonne of porn on Twitter, easily accessible without a VPN. But sure, it’s definitely about safety and security or whatever other bollocks they go on about

    21. andercode on

      Honestly… im surprised its taken them this long. They get most their money from advertising, the UK is a high value target for advertising, and traffic dropped over 80% from UK visitors overnight.

      At some point (and I guess they have reached it) it becomes cheaper to block countries with OSA style verifications than continue to follow the rules.

      Very short sighted legislation from the government, and i blame both, the Conservatives for raising it and labour for not blocking it once in power.

    22. corf3l on

      I tend to only visit the site on my daily trip to Colombia or Albania so I don’t think this will impact me.

    23. Gunnertwin on

      So many coomers in this thread, no wonder why the country is in such a mess.

      edit – i’m 100% anti authoritarianism, everyone should do what they want, unless it harms themselves or others, and I think porn does.

    25. somedegree123 on

      Kier focusing on the important issues here, ensuring the UK has no privacy whatsoever and outsourcing parenting to US corpos

    26. Nublar_Repair_Man on

      It’s so easy to get to shady websites that don’t comply

      Why block the ones that do?

      Literally takes seconds to find them on Google or Bing

    27. DennisAFiveStarMan on

      Probably risking people going to less legitimate sites, more dangerous to computer and worse content

    28. Yamosu on

      I’m seriously considering hosting a small VPS overseas and running my own tailscale node.

    29. Additional_Pickle_59 on

      Doesn’t stop people accessing it, just makes them use more dubious and worrying methods

      Sites that don’t follow the ban are usually riddled with viruses and videos that are pretty messed up.

      At this point our ISPs, regulated by UK law, might as well require your information & card info upon set-up of your home’s internet service and also for unrestricted connection via mobile data network.

      Oh wait, they do, they already have all that information.

    31. notleave_eu on

      It’s ridiculous. Unenforceable. And costing us money.

      This decision doesn’t happen in a vacuum and would have cost us money too. The enforcement now and in the future isn’t without taxpayer costs either. And for what??? So I couldn’t view an American news site from Reddit today without travelling to the Netherlands first.

      Whilst Google will serve you up anything you want.
