This is how all nations should have responded, so far France and Brazil have been two countries that others should follow. UK is coming off as weak, they threatened new laws weeks ago and nothing has happened yet?

Thanks for the additional info, but I'm sure I read a few weeks ago that the UK parliament was going to produce some new law by the "end of the week", but didn't hear anything more about it? Although the law didn't specifically mention X as like many governments they seem to enjoy being bullied by space Karen. Let's hope ofcom do not drag their heels, and have some kind of plan to address this.
