• Hey Guest,

    We will never comply with any of OFCOM's demands or any other nations censorious demands for that matter. We will only follow the laws of the land of which our server is located, which is the US.

    Any demands for censorship or requests to comply with the law outside of the US will be promptly ignored.

    No foreign laws or pressure will make us comply with anti-censorship laws and we will protect the speech of our members, regardless of where they might live in the world. If that means being blocked in the UK, so be it. We would advise that any UK member gets a VPN to browse the site, or use TOR.

    However, today, we stand up these these governments that want to bully or censor this website.

    Fuck OFCOM, and fuck any media organization or group that think it's cool or fun to stalk or bully people that suffering in this world.

    Edit: We also wanted to address the veiled threats made against a staff member in the UK by the BBC in the news today. We are undeterred by any threats, intimination, by the BBC or by any other groups dedicated to doxxing and harassing our staff and members. Journalists from the BBC, CTV, Kansas Star, Daily Mail and many other outlets have continuiously ignored the fact that many of the people that they're interviewing (such as @leelfc84 on Twitter/X) and propping up are the same people posting addresses of staff members and our founders on social media. We show them proof of this and they ignore it and don't address it.They're all just as evil as each other, and should be treated accordingly. They do not care about the safety of our staff members, founders, or administrators, or even members, so why would they care about you?

    Now that we have your attention, journalists, will you ever address this? You've given these evil people interviews, and free press.

These are still required in US buildings. It's a very, very old technology and is very vulnerable to compromise. Any kind of ground fault or anything kills it. I've seen this entire system downed in a building because of a gum wrapper. Not joke. The circuits are all wired in parallel. Sound Powered Phones which is what ships in WW2 used. They operate on magnetostrsiction.
Quartz crystals exhibit piezoelectric properties, meaning they can generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress (such as vibration). In some parts a building, radios and phones aren't always reliable. Its a backup communication system for firefighters 🚒

They can be more often than not in back service corridors, service stairwells, back hallways, ect. Usually in parts of the building with heavy shielding (a lot of steel and cement to absorb radio signals).
