Block UK access now just in case.

It's clear to me, it's a huge risk for any company to allow access to UK visitors at this stage. All companies should be blocking all UK visitors. It's just too much risk for them to take.

The fault is obviously an incompetent and authoritarian UK government, but that's what the UK overlords have agreed.

So GDPR, which protects people from companies abusing personal data (which this case is about, not the online safety act) should be repealed?

(no, its not the cookie law either.)

No because GDPR is better implemented and there are clear and reasonable guidelines to follow. This is just clueless policy makers fucking around.

The ICO are there it enforce GDPR, and other data protections.

They are a quango, rather than policy makers

Again they are not OFCOM, and they didn't make OSA, thats very much down to the previous tory government
