Agreed. I read the article and I was thinking "this sounds pretty bad", but after clicking through to the main site my experience was "there's no explanation of what this is, but it looks like it probably falls within the need for some form of regulation".
Are there services which offer a less... risky... service that are similarly affected here?
Lobste.rs is a tech-focused website quite similar to HN, and it's also affected (although they decided that the risks of legal action are low enough to avoid geoblocking UK users entirely).
