Ok i knew it was coming but the date kinda crept up on me but April 6th sees the all out banning of loli in the UK? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Any links to sources? I do not endorse nor support the idea of loli but it is quite disturbing when the government bans art, regardless of its controversial nature.

This is why i love you.

last paragraph

These plans became part of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, sections 62-68[28], and will come into force on 6 April 2010[29]. The definition of a "child" in the Act includes depictions of 16 and 17 year olds who are over the age of consent in the UK, as well as any adults where the "predominant impression conveyed" is of a person under the age of 18. The Act makes it illegal to own any picture depicting under-18s participating in sexual activities, or depictions of sexual activity in the presence of someone under 18. The law has been condemned by a coalition of graphic artists, publishers and MPs, fearing it will criminalise graphic novels such as Lost Girls and Watchmen.[30] The Government claimed that publication or supply of such material may be illegal under the Obscene Publications Act, if a jury would consider it to have a tendency to "deprave and corrupt".[24] However, the published bill makes no reference to the "deprave and corrupt" test.

They're criminalizing Watchmen... Watchmen! :no:

so what is there to do apart from shift+del?

Truecrypt.

Started watching 'full metal panic!'.

Only one episode in but its looking promising.

One of my favorites.

Some good news for Gintama fans :)

That translates to a *possible* new season only after Sunrise reconsiders its anime lineup. I won't get my hopes up.

I really liked that show actually. The one girl does get annoying at times though.

Has anyone seen the second season, is it any good?

I take that back. The comic is terrible. The characters are fatally flawed and drab set in a dystopian future. (N)

Is that supposed to be rhetorical? Full Metal Panic! is one of the most popular anime series.

You guys on the other side of the pond in the UK are really feeling the heat from the ISP's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Economy_Bill

The Digital Economy Bill [1][2] is a bill announced in the 2009 Queen's Speech before the United Kingdom parliament.[3] The bill will receive its second reading on the 6th April 2010 and it is expected[4] that it will not be debated in the Commons, and instead will be pushed through in the "wash up".

The bill follows the Digital Britain report and contains many of its suggestions including provisions about:

The bill proposes adding a clause to the Communications Act 2003 with the effect that internet service providers could be forced to disclose details of their customers who repeatedly infringe copyright, on production of sufficient evidence, to copyright groups or face a fine of ?250,000 for non-compliance. ISPs may also be required to block access to sites that allow "substantial" infringement.[5]

The bill proposes further measures allowing for the "temporary suspension" of internet connections for repeat infringers of copyright following warnings from their ISP. The bill has received criticism for some of these measures. (see below)

Other provisions in the bill include an amendment to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 to increase the criminal liability for "making or dealing with infringing articles" and "making, dealing with or using illicit recordings" to a maximum of ?50,000.

Regulation of content is also a theme in the bill, which sees it adopt the PEGI standard for video game ratings. The UK government would also be able directly to intervene to control the use of the UK's domain name space, currently overseen by the independent body Nominet.

The bill also includes proposed changes to DAB radio in the United Kingdom including the reorganisation and merging of some of the local DAB ensembles[6] and an requirement for a digital switchover of terrestrial radio in the United Kingdom.[7]

Brace yourself for impact for Eva. One moment, it's all cool and full of action and the next is like watching a patient in an insanity ward going crazy.

Full Metal Panic! is my kind of show. Slapstick humor (like GTO), intelligent girl (equal to male protagonist or even more important), foreign policy & politics and technology (similar to Zegapain and Ghost in the Shell). The second season focuses more on character chemistry and "cute humor", which isn't exactly something I enjoyed. The last season made me look at the anime as a well thought out anime series with a satisfying introduction, climaxes and a segue to another arc/possible ending.

That's what I've been told so I'm bracing myself :p lol

I'll reserve my final thoughts for the show once I'm done, maybe it will change some in the final few eps.

The last time I saw FMC was a couple years ago I think, maybe I should get back into it. I can hardly remember what it was about haha

      Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.

      Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By RejZoR · Posted

      It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • Paint.NET can finally be downloaded from the "right" place

      By dismuter · Posted

      You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
