Does it really, practically, impact things?

If people had to obey the law of "every country that has any internet presence", site operators worldwide would have to do such silly things as ban women from using the internet while not sitting right next to their husbands, or who knows what other silly things as per the Sharia. So I don't really see how any such thing is to be taken at anything but grandposturing from boomer political parties, at face value.

Now, if you want to ban Bri'ish IP addresses, your hosting can take care of that. For the most capable ones it's just a flip of a switch. But do consider that in some cases that makes your site worse for everyone else worldwide as such rules are sometimes implemented via privacy-invading systems (eg.: yet another control that makes your site depend on Cloudflare).

As a comment in Youtube about the Aang vs Ozai video said, more or less: "There's Avatar, and there's the military movie about blue cosplayers".

This. Sometimes a software is just finished. IRC itself has not seen change in like... about all the time I remember.

Sounds (heh) good in theory, but so far it hasn't been able to pick any radio in my country (Ar) or nearby. Inspector says any attempt to load a radio ends in a HTTP 403 error.
