> In what world is the correct response "Dear regulators, you're incompetent. Pound sand." instead of "Can you share the IP address you used so my client can address this in their geoblock?"

That would imply that the client actually would like to be contacted every time Ofcom found a leak in the geoblock. Not a good idea imho.



It sounds like they would welcome that, e.g. in the update to the post

They don't agree that it is a public safety matter, or at least they've clearly taken the position that they don't care about that kind of public safety.

He's just pointing out that Ofcom's behavior is inconsistent with Ofcom sincerely believing it's a public safety matter either.
