Indeed seems like unfortunately the "eyes" keeps growing :)

 
The new UK law doesn't care where the service is hosted, only whether
it's available to UK users.  Also users who are sophisticated enough
to use tor or a vpn would most likely be using their own nntp client
and so would not need my web interface at all.

  Huh? But I assume it *does* matter, *who* is actually providing the
service, i.e. in this case *you* *in* the UK.

  If it's just to whom the service is offered, then all other News
servers/services would also be bound by this new UK law, i.e.
for example News.Individual.NET in Germany, Eternal September in
<wherever>, etc..
