Definitely feel like I'm in the minority on mastodon in feeling that, broadly, it's right that small sites with user-user interaction should have to do the kinds of risk assessments the OSA requires and have defined effective moderation / content removal measures etc.

The assessment guidance being awful, and the law having too many ambiguities, are things begging to be fixed... but the principles behind are not wrong to my mind.

@dctrud I agree with you. However I also agree that the costs involved are rather off putting for small sites. If they could work out a cheaper way of doing it...

@missmelanieh yeah - there should have been considerable push back against it taking effect until such time as good tools were provided by OFCOM. And... efforts to make sure those tools happened so that the law could then take effect.
