Neil Brown<p>Sometimes, Ofcom bewilders me:</p><blockquote><p>Ofcom has said that for small sites, the costs of complying [with the Online Safety Act] “are likely to be negligible or in the small thousands at most”.</p></blockquote><p>Small sites, especially volunteer-run community sites, generally don't have "small thousands" to spend on legal advice.

Neil Brown<blockquote><p>Shut vile death video site, families say, as Ofcom gets new powers<br>...<br>From Monday, Ofcom gets new powers to crack down on illegal content, but it may not be enough to close the site.</p></blockquote><p>Ofcom has no powers to "shut" or "close" sites.</p><p>At most, it can seek an order from a court to compel ISPs on the UK to attempt to block access (which probably means abusing DNS).</p><blockquote><p>And from the summer all sites must have robust age verification systems to prevent children accessing a range of content.</p></blockquote><p>No, they don't.</p><p>Bravo, BBC.

Neil Brown<p>I spent a good chunk of my weekend helping people running tiny, low risk, online services complete paperwork about the UK’s Online Safety Act, for zero discernible benefit.</p><p>So it is a bit galling that the main headline on the BBC this morning is about the government wanting to “slash red tape”.</p><p>I have spent one heck of a lot of time on the OSA, trying to help others with its burden, and it just seems so utterly unnecessary.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/tags/OnlineSafetyAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineSafetyAct</span></a></p>
