the UK loves to control adults. they banned face sitting porn. there was a law where you a had to ask your ISP to allow you to see adult content (with the default being off). but I'm not sure how/if it was enforced because I lived there when they made their law and had no issues.

they banned face sitting porn.

Well, it kinda makes sense. If you allow people to simply watch face sitting porn from the comfort of their homes, how are they supposed to sell the public the licenses required to face sit in real life?

Is this related to why all uk sites ends in .uk? I have always wondered.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that's how domain names work.

And Spanish sites have .es

every country has they own domain

I know, but the uk ones don't work like the regular ones. Like abc.fr is the french one, abc.co.uk is the uk one

no idea why some countries have a ".co". too busy to figure it out, but if anyone knows please tell me

Well Uk citizens will just use a VPN (until the government tries to take that away too and fails miserably). This is just ridiculous do real politics instead of this bullshit
