Meanwhile the petition to repeal the #onlinesafetyact is creeping up in numbers, now at 71,000

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903

A lot of sites that are geoblocking the UK are linking to the petition, which no doubt is pushing the numbers up.

Repeal might be unrealistic, but rewrite severely is absolutely necessary. I have signed - Parliament needs to debate this. [1/several]

Let it stew for another year and really drive home the "FO" of "FAFO!"

You can also sign the letter demanding #ageverification is properly regulated under the #onlinesafetyact

This is seriously dumb, that this is missing, and that the #ICO is making no serious sign of regulating AV providers.

Other things you can do include:

* Let people know about https://www.ageverificationfacts.org.uk/ which gives information about what is happening

* Let ORG know if you come across any dodgy AV providers or scams

* Submit geoblocked or closed sites to

@jim Have to say I'm not convinced that the answer to bad regulation is more regulation.
