Britain is reshaping the global internet without Americans' consent
uk.news.yahoo.comLmao what a title. That is some quality clickbait/ragebait right there.
> Most important of all, Americans must become aware of how our digital economy is being changed without our consent through laws like the UK’s Online Safety Act.
I am categorically against OSA but the framing of this opinion piece is really hard not to laugh at.
I'd cordially suggest those not in the UK to tell the UK to fuck right off, and geoblock them.
Disclosure: I'm in the UK.
I don’t disagree at all and I think it’s a valid response. OSA is very poorly thought out top to bottom. There’s just something really funny about this article framing it as this horrible unilateral move by the UK against the US without any admission that this is standard fare for the US when it crafts domestic policy that has far reaching international implications, especially when it comes to the internet.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but the indignant tone there is truly something to behold.
