EU regulators again presume to own the Internet. They do not. Their plan is to vote on an idiotic Chat Control plan that would give them mass surveillance powers. LOL, no. As Free Radical is not under EU’s legal jurisdiction, we have zero obligation or interest in complying with it should it pass.

The Florida House of Representatives approved a bill to ban social media for kids under the age of 16. What is it with that hive of scum and villainy? There is zero chance, none, nil, that Free Radical will ask visitors to verify their age in a way that would require us to collect personal information. We’ll ignore goofy, unconstitutional laws from other states. If a jurisdiction I care about requires us to collect PII, I’ll move FRZ to somewhere more reasonable.

The UK just passed a stupid Online Safety Bill. As a point of fact, Free Radical is not subject to the UK’s laws. As a point of policy, I couldn’t care less about their goofy regulations. It might as well not exist as far as I’m concerned. In summary, Free Radical has no obligation to, and will not, enforce any bit of the Online Safety Bill (except where it coincidentally aligns with United States and California law).
