Another failed attempt at fining a American company.

One of the things to watch out for is the automatic censoring of live broadcasts which will be ("is being"?) done just as it is done for potential nudity with images on social media.
Expect it to be another use case for AI.

They really should have accepted the employ-our-dumb-kids-or-be-extorted offer made by the social-strata that forms the UK Government.

However, by the government doing this, they are literally #LivingOffImmoralEarnings #Ofcom .

If Wyoming pass such a law then the chances of it being replicated at a federal level are greatly increased:

On to the Wyoming Senate!”

@john

Here's the official record:

I initially thought that surely #OfCom had actually served these things on an officer of the company.

It took some digging, but it appears that 8579 LLC is an anonymized #SantaFe #NewMexico company whose correspondence address appears to be one of those places that provides a corporate address as a service to lots of companies, several of which seem shady on their faces.

So likely OfCom has not.

@Jaimieserotica also the audioporn ban really pisses me off. A lot of people use text to speech to access the Internet. It's akin to discrimination against those people.

When you read something, you do it at your own pace and imagine the scene unfolding as you do. I can read my art in the way and pace it unfolds as I relive or imagine it. Obviously that's not quite the same thing, but it's far better than how well even the best text to speech apps manage.
