Under the UK Online Safety Act, small blogs, forums and fedi instances are faced with disproportionate requirements to:
⚫️ Check if they have UK users
⚫️ Do a risk assessment on whether kids might access the content, or if CSAM or terrorist material might be posted in the comments
⚫️ Put themselves at the risk of fines, and even prison sentences, if they fail to comply with Ofcom’s future directives
