>mfw americans have to tip for internet now

What the fuck is a TV license?

Sorry Leafs, you guys arn't getting away free either: nationalobserver.com/2017/12/04/analysis/yes-us-net-neutrality-debacle-will-impact-people-canada-no-we-cant-sit-sidelines

HAHAHA It really is comparable to that
This whole ordeal has given me more than my fair share of laughs these past few days

In Britain you need a license to own a TV and have TV service.

Are you memeing or is this shit actually true?

No, it's just a fee to watch public broadcasts without adverts.

It's called a TV license, but nobody really enforces it.

It's true, you have to pass the TV test first to be eligible though

They have vans literally patrolling neighborhoods in search of people who haven't paid for their TV licenses. As absurd and comical as it sounds, i am not making this shit up. You can only imagine how hard I laughed when I first heard of this

I'm pretty sure you can still own a TV for vidya and movies.

Seriously Sup Forums, stop shitposting and provide some sources about this TV license shit right now because im sitting here in a college library trying extremely hard to stifle explosive laughter

>It's true, you have to pass the TV test first to be eligible though

TOP FUCKING KEK

>They have vans literally patrolling neighborhoods in search of people who haven't paid for their TV licenses.
jesus fucking christ!

oh, that sounds far more credible.

While on the matter, what's going on with this whole porn ID thing in Britain people have been memeing about lately?

One proposal has it that in order to access a commercial porn website, you have to give them your credit card info as proof that you're 18+. Is that the gist of it?

ACKSHULLY ITS GOOD BECAUSE GOMPETISHUN FUCK OFF LIBKEKS

throttling my porn and vidya downloads to own the libs

Nah, it's a piece of legislation to "Opt-in" to porn websites when you set up your broadband.

Sup Forumstards are misinterpreting it because of the net neutrality damage control.

The whole credit card thing is a lie.

You literally tick a box when you first set up your new connection online.

my fucking sides!

lots of countries have television licences, not sure why we got memed on so hard
people seem to try a bit too hard to paint the UK as an Orwellian shithole

>people seem to try a bit too hard to paint the UK as an Orwellian shithole

This is Sup Forums, the board that sees the absolute worst in everything, true or not.

not a meme. Read this wiki article and you'll only laugh harder and harder by the paragraph

Yanks cling at straws.

Shocker.

That image is from 1975.

>In 2013, the Radio Times obtained a leaked internal document from the BBC giving a breakdown of prosecutions for TV licence evasion.
this is genuinely the greatest thing I've encountered this week.

what's the legend for that infographic?

whoops!
