Honestly, country is gripped by clowns.

Would not be at all surprised to find the commissioner has shares or a financial interest in Age Verification companies.

Giving adults free access to high quality porn in exchange for stopping children using VPNs would probably be fairly effective.

My response wasn’t regarding the geoblock, but to the above poster saying we block VPNs (which isn’t true)

But just so you’re aware, we dont geoblock federation traffic and all our posts, comments etc are federated without issue.

The only thing geoblocked is the UIs, so UK visitors can’t access the UI.

If your client tries to direct you to lemmy.zip rather than the crossposted article, then that client isn’t working properly and you should log a bug. Like any crosspost, the content federates fine.

Hope that clears it up for you.

We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

Ahh, this is really sad. Lemm.ee was always an instance that shined brightly, and @sunaurus@lemm.ee has helped me out a couple of times.

Sad day indeed.
