I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like the UK's #OnlineSafetyBill is a done deal:

An utter shambles of a bill, pushed forward on the basis of catchphrases and clichés.
If you provide online services to people in the UK, which let them interact with each other, especially if you have a link to the UK yourself, I guess you might want to either:
a) attempt to block access by people in the UK; or
b) settle in for a sizeable legal advice bill.
@neil Nice to see you've gone for the balanced assessment!!
@LornaWoods @neil How the fuck one does balance *that*? Okay, let me try...
"On one hand we have a steaming pile of privacy breaches.
On the other hand we have a lumpy regulatory capture.
Both hands are stinky AF, a perfectly balanced symphony of rancid and acrid."
