PSA: UK users can visit all their favourite websites in Tor Browser. Just don't run your torrent client using the tor network. Thank you.

You can also access 4chan, Tattle Life, and other nasty gossip websites that the UK nanny state wants to ban.

And you can access the porn on Reddit and Twitter (though in some cases you'll have to make an account). And of course the "tube" sites work fine.

After you've done that, as a UK citizen, please go to https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903 and ask the government to repeal their awful law.

You'll need more than just an account to access "certain mature content" on sites like Reddit - you'll soon need to upload some photographic ID.

I wrote a similar comment but then realised that if you're using tor per GP's recommendation, you'd be fine as long as your exit node isn't in the UK, or other regressive jurisdiction.
