>The UK regulator has now publicly confirmed that the “mirror” site for my client’s site is not accessible in the UK.
The writer then proceeds to describe the way in which the spinning up of a mirror lead to the site becoming available for people in the UK. And the author protests that:
>The reasons why SaSu had a mirror are SaSu’s alone/none of Ofcom’s fucking business; [...]
The way it is written makes for a string suspicion that SaSu thought they could obviate OSA with a cheeky mirror (standard fare for torrent sites - who also wish to bypass censorship - I gather) and got caught. I can't see why else the author would be so vociferous, nor how the mirror wouldn't block the very same UK addresses as the main-site except by design.
Suicide is illegal here (there is movement on this, thankfully). Helping people do illegal things, also illegal. Facilitating such help, also illegal. There seems no need to stoop to imagining some weird conspiracy or blaming a cabal of shadowy figures.
I guess you could think of it like we treat helping people kill themselves like USA treats UK people facilitating copyright infringement.
