Episode notes
UK Government Suppresses Free Speech
- The British government enforces arbitrary tyranny, especially curbing free speech and imposing extreme regulations without public consultation.
- The Online Safety Act expands censorship under the guise of child protection but mainly suppresses protest and dissent online.
Biased Online Censorship Tools
- The UK government's online censorship tools are unlimited and inherently biased, with Ofcom influenced by ideological agendas.
- Those who use the internet risk privacy loss through extensive ID and age verification measures enforced mainly to silence dissent.
Bone Music to VPNs
- During Soviet times, people bootlegged Western music on x-rays called "bone music" to circumvent censorship.
- Similarly today, people use VPNs and other tools to bypass the UK government's internet restrictions.
