So while grok is spitting out underage nudes, THIS is what the UK bans? Can they suck Satan’s cock harder still?
Both can and will
Nomnomnom satans cock is delicious
Political advertising is banned on TV and radio.
It wasnt banned. They didnt meet the advertisment requirments. Its false outrage to generate clicks. Its quite disappointing of them thought they knew better.
Aren’t advertising requirements that constrain subject matter effectively a mechanism for banning content?
One of the reasons given for rejection was:
Referencing topics such as: Paedophiles, Rapists, Murderers, Enemies of the state, Journalists, Refugees, Controversial opinions, People’s bedrooms, Police officers, Children’s headsets … is inappropriate and irrelevant to the average consumer’s experience with a VPN.
That doesn’t seem to me like the sort of criteria that a rule-enforcement agency should be using for determining whether something should air. (For what it’s worth, refusing to air this in the US would absolutely be considered a freedom of speech issue.)
Did every one forget that uk was a aristocracy with democracy taked on? Point is they knew the requirments worked outside to get it banned and then generated false outrage.
What does that have to do with anything?
It isn’t the first time that the advertising requirements were used to chill speech. It doesn’t matter whether there was a ban; what matters is whether speech was effectively prevented. “There is no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
Wouldnt surprise me that it was. Its what its likely designed to do. Doesnt mean mullvad werent aware of it and took advantage in a dishonest way
Just checked the video and…
Oof! That’s pretty much a political awareness video and far from an ad.There is no way they can risk mass political awareness regarding the new legislations that they are frantically attempting to tunnel through.
100% ban material.
If I were UK govt. I would be internally calling this a “National Security” issue.
And then and then and then
