   Ofcom has said that for small sites, the costs of complying “are likely to be negligible or in the small thousands at most”.

   Deluded. Say goodbye to UK forums and forums serving the UK.

     @gamingonlinux I fucking hate what the internet has become. The vast majority of the evils that come from the net come from large centralised organisations, and in response they pass laws that are trivial for large centralised organisations to comply with, and crippling for small groups. It's mandatory centralisation.

     @gamingonlinux The UK government will do literally anything to curb the ability for its constituents to have any form of ability to talk to each other or have any form of privacy. Its despicable.

     @gamingonlinux Try not paying a "negligible small thousands" to the taxman and see where it gets you...

     @gamingonlinux I've still not heard back from my MP Steve Reed, about the letter I sent to him about this.

     Shower of bastards.

     @Lazarou they don't care, they will just say it's about protecting kids as usual, they do not care about the smaller lot

     @gamingonlinux they do not, and I've given them one chance to prove themselves and they have/will fail.

     I knew Steve Reed wouldn't reply, he's on the Front Bench.
