King Charles has cancer so he won’t have to deal with the backlash of this.
It is truly ridiculous that this has become a law in the UK.
The internet is weakening and fracturing at intense speed - faster than it grew.

Royal assent is a ceremonial process at this point as the powers to refuse a bill are very, very rarely exercised.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_assent):
"The last bill that was refused assent was the Scottish Militia Bill during Queen Anne's reign in 1708."
Even that was only done on the advice of government ministers who had second thoughts after the bill was passed.
I agree the law is ridiculous though. I hope big internet companies boycott the UK, speaking as a UK citizen. This law won't catch anyone remotely tech sazzy.
So at least there's a potential bright side for people in the UK :-)
The writing was on the wall a decade ago. You'll get Cable TV 2.0 and you'll like it. An army of sycophants and chumps are working to ensure it.
It has nothing to do with him in reality. The monarch has to give ascent to new acts of parliament and by convention always does. They don't (overtly) interfere politically.
What backlash? Are you going to go lobby in Westminster? Or hit the street and riot/direct action against it?
The reality is most people don't care, and complaining on a forum online does nothing.
It has to start somewhere. Last time the King faced adversity from the people, it was due to an anonymously distributed pamphlet.
This probably isn't true.
Forums are voluminous online and regularly contain such complaints, partly as the anonymity gives people a feeling of being more free to express themselves, versus other types of social group interactions.
Given that cohesive and cooperative direct action from organised groups is relatively rare, it could be seen as statistically likely direct action at least sometimes resulted from a group unifying over discussion on a forum.
Agree with your other points

Gtfo of here brits - the Irish were on the right side of history and it’s high time for a revolution and you know it’s true!
But it’s also time to take a look within ourselves and see that we are co-creating something.
Do we want it?
Is this the best we can do as a human race?
The Irish people have a bit of luck on their side. They follow their hearts and speak up.
The ancient Celtic DNA knows. It’s a magical people, and I mean that in the sense of the Magi; enlightened men and women of knowledge who brought the sciences and the arts to humanity.
The Irish were conquered, but the power and wisdom within the DNA cannot be conquered.
It’s all within. Like an ancient quantum computer.
It sits. Waiting to be tapped by the brave one who dares to look outside the program.
