A comment on 4Chan Lawyer publishes Ofcom correspondence. Irony is overwhelming.

Ofcom said this four days ago:

> "Services who choose to restrict access rather than protect UK users remain on our watchlist"

How does withdrawing service from UK users not "protect UK users"? How does age verifying UK IPs provide more protection than withdrawing the service entirely?

It is about power and control, and nothing else.

what happens if access is unrestricted from UK users and the content becomes available again. Reads to me that they will monitor sites to ensure this doesn't happen. Surely logical..
