A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The best thing that could happen to the UK is that most internet sites just didn't bother and stopped serving the UK. Kind of like how some US sites decline to serve up pages to European visitors because they couldn't be bothered to be GDPR-compliant.
Unlike Europe though, the UK isn't big enough to matter all that much. So if a large enough number of sites stopped catering to UK visitors, the authorities would quickly backpedal.
