Sorry UK, but next year, due to the Digital Economy Act 2017, kinkykink.com will be out of the UK
Today the UK returned to a Dickensian time of prurient modesty which requires that no one watches porn or reads about sex which isn’t deemed normal, without first registering their details with the ruling right-wing government.
For example, from April 2018, if you live in London, you can’t stick more than four fingers up your asshole and if you’re in Manchester you can’t watch sex on the internet without providing all your credit card details, and maybe your passport details, social security and driver’s license. (To who is anyone’s best guess.)
You’re surely thinking – you cannot be serious? Well sorry, Mac but they are. There’s also the threat of a $700,000 fine and public humiliation for anyone deviant enough to defy this.
So, from March 2018, we’re not taking part in the UK or any other country that treats BDSM and LGBT communities in this way. (Currently, the only other country we block is Chechnya.)
If you live in the UK we recommend you move to France. It’s nice there. Or maybe Germany – they’re efficient and quite kinky too. If you need the English language, try New Zealand – lovely landscapes with lots of athletic people and outdoor space.
Although kinkykink.com isn’t based in the UK (we’re hosted in Arizona), isn’t owned by a UK citizen, isn’t physically located in the UK, and isn’t “commercial”; we have a number of reviewers – who write for free – and who do live in the UK, and we don’t want to cause them problems with the secret censorship police. Because we’re nice people. Kinky, but nice.
So, for that reason, from March 2018 onwards, if you access the internet from any UK location, you’ll see this page and nothing else. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Niet. We’re sorry for your loss.
Here are some links to articles about this stupid law which sets freedom of speech back 100 years; and some links to internet freedom organizations.
Update – March 2018 – apparently the UK government have ‘rowed back’ and introduced a delay and ‘consultation period’. However, since no official and clear announcement have been made, our attorney has advised it might be a play to fine websites anyway and make money for the UK government. Therefore, until this law has been officially withdrawn, we’ve been advised by our attorney to continue blocking UK folk. Sorry guys and gals.
