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.

And get to solve a dozen whack-a-mole intentionally-slow-loading reCAPTCHAs just to see the page, or worse, end up in a Cloudflare redirect loop.

I use tor semi-regularly to get around stupid UK geo-fencing of content and honestly it hasn't been like that in a while.
