I know I'm more than a day late on this, but for some reason it came across my feed now — I confirmed with Sanofi today that they haven't yet shipped the Novavax shot, so it isn't available anywhere. They plan to start shipping next week.

I saw this floated with the Digital Economy Act in 2019. Was at a conference with the BBFC, which at that time was charged with regulating adult online, similar to Ofcom now, and they said that Visa/MC were prepared to stop processing — globally! — for any platform that didn’t comply with UK law.

In other words, you may not be on UK soil but Visa and Mastercard are, and Visa/Mastercard will follow the direction of the UK. Given what's been happening in the gaming space over the past few days (and the adult industry for years), that's terrifying news for free speech.

Ofcom says that if you refuse to censor yourself under the Online Safety Act, it will force payment processors and ISPs to stop doing business with you. When the government can't shut you up, the banks and credit cards will. Absolutely terrifying. www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

From an Ofcom guidance:

Business disruption measures
9.4
9.5
9.6
Business disruption measures are orders made by a court on an application from Ofcom.
They apply to third parties which are able to disrupt the provision of the regulated service and thereby reduce the risk of harm to UK citizens and consumers. The third party need not be an Ofcom regulated entity and may not have had any previous dealings with Ofcom.
The Act provides for four types of business disruption measure:
a) a service restriction order;
b) an interim service restriction order;
c) an access restriction order; and
d) an interim access restriction order.
A service restriction order is an order applying to one or more providers of 'ancillary services' to a non-compliant regulated service. An ancillary service is a service that facilitates the provision of the regulated service (or part of it) (for example, payment processing services) or one that displays or promotes content in relation to the regulated service (for example an ad server). 110 The criteria with which a court must be satisfied to grant an application for an order are set out in section 144(3) and (4) of the Act and include that the court must be satisfied that the service provider has failed and is continuing to fail with an enforceable requirement or with a Technology Notice under section 121(1) of the Act. 111 A service restriction order requires the ancillary service against which an order is obtained to take steps aimed at disrupting the relevant regulated service in the UK...

Another possibility: There are powerful men who Trump is protecting, and Bongino wants to sell them out. But I find that implausible for two reasons: 1) They wouldn't satisfy the MAGA bloodlust, and he knows it. 2) He doesn't care about rape and doesn't want rapists to come to harm.
