- Comment on Is this the first casualty of the Online Safety Act? An online cycling community web forum with over 60K users shutting down 5 days ago:
you’re supposed to write a risk assessment
Risk assessments are trivially banal.
if I were running a site as a hobby I wouldn’t trust my own assessment
I’d trust mine.
if it turns out you’re multi-risk then it looks like you need to be sure all sorts of measures are in place, some of which may require building capabilities that you don’t have yet
The measures that are required are the kind of things which now seem basic. Like having a means to flag posts as problematic. If I ran a forum that didn’t have such functionality, I’d be concerned regardless and probably take advantage of the kick up the arse.
I don’t blame anyone for deciding it’s not worth it.
Well that’s the question isn’t it. Is any particular forum worth bothering with. Clearly the cycling forum that’s shutting down isn’t. But I question whether that’s due to the new legislation.

This seems like an over reaction. I looked through the OFCOM overviews and I can’t see any reason why a small forum would need to shut down, they just need to do a little work to make sure they’re complying. No money needs to be involved from what I can tell.

scheduling
What do you mean by that?
- Comment on Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time? 1 year ago:
From you. It was your money but then after you give it to them, it’s their money.

It’s not your money, it’s their money.
