so what’s the tldr on the OSA/fedi thing for someone that’s out of the loop (me)?
@Auri ofcom have decided that the Online Safety Act has to be enforced by individual websites but they have been super fucking vague about how they expect to do that.
They're also saying that ALL websites have to do it if they have any ability for users to communicate on them.
So most websites are just planning to geoblock the UK entirely and ofcom's response is "that is acceptable"
@renbymon Oh fun. Ty <3
@Auri Oh and they'll also do this for websites based outside of the UK too.
Like I get why they're doing it but the implementation is just REAL vague and heavy-handed
