American here (yes, yes, boo hiss etc). I admittedly just learned about the online safety act and listened to an American podcaster talk about it like the sky is falling. Is it over there? What’s it practically like?

    There was a bloke in the pub on Saturday going from table to table selling USB Sticks of “grotography”, in the same way that people used to sell pirated DVDs and stuff. I’m not sure what was specifically on them, or whether they were legit.

    He definitely sold some.

      Ha, I’m imagining he’s got a trench coat on with the goods hidden. It amuses me that an old school black market may emerge from this.
