    Don't know why I expected something interesting from the Brits but I looked at lemmy.zip posts and was a bit disappointed. Is there a list of the websites blocked in the UK maybe with rates and comments what you definitely should not visit and such?

    Thanks. Still no porn though, mostly tech related websites. Why are they banned by osa?

    Because... the OSA is badly worded, pretty damn oppressive and the penalties are so high that if they enforced them then well, pretty much ANY decent website will cease to be available in the UK. Simple really, plus it doesn't do anything like it should do as users just magically appear to be in a different country...

    What you describe sounds either like incompetence, or like perfect censorship tool as intended. Wonder what it is.

    users just magically appear to be in a different country...

    So ban to vpn is next?
