Let's say tomorrow the British state Eye of Sauron turns to nostr. What actually happens? They would probably set their target as #Damus and #Amethyst I imagine, certainly as a priority (and let's just say that this is the case).

How does this scenario play out?

Two devs who are public figures threatened with legal action and insane fines. (I'm not sure what actually happens / is being threatened, what is realistically enforceable by Interpol or whatever... that's another question really, if anyone knows...)

> Dozens of small internet forums have blocked British users or shut down as new online safety laws come into effect, with one comparing the new regime to a British version of China’s “great firewall”.
Several smaller community-led sites have stopped operating or restricted services, blaming new illegal harms duties enforced by Ofcom from Monday.
They range from a hamster owners’ forum, a local group for residents of the Oxfordshire town of Charlbury, and a large cycling forum.
The hosts of the lemmy.zip forum, hosted in Finland, blocked users from the UK accessing the site, saying the measures “pave the way for a UK-controlled version of the ‘great firewall’”.
