apparently there's some law in the UK that mandates it now 🙄

Well UK, have the day you voted for I guess

Unfortunately this is the better of the two main parties. This isn't republicans winning because dems didn't vote. Labour won, and this still went through. The UK government as a whole has been on an anti porn brigade for decades. I can't wait for the day labour and the Tories just die off.

Technically the act passed in 2023 under the Sunak government.

That said; I can't seem to find a vote breakdown and I would not be at all surprised if labour also backed it.

I'm hoping enough public dissatisfaction leads to labour repealing it but I won't hold my breath.

I'd like to blame the voting system for the lack of meaningful voting options.

Ed Davey, I can't imagine Bad Enoch doing anything and Labour were the ones to implement this.

The next PM of this country will be the one who promises to bring back all the porn.

Thank fuck for VPNs, although it now wants to show me hot milfs in Brussels.
