It's much better to face these kinds of things

[–] WastingCommentSpace@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

TL;DR: The UK OS~~B~~A strikes again.

Edit: l long thought it were named Bill, not Act. Sorry for the confusion.

I still don't know.

You are right though. It was named a Bill, now it is named an Act :⁠-⁠) https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/publications/bills-acts/

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How does it strike again though?

Reading over the government page for this act, it seems like common sense. I get the impression that any properly moderated forum would already be implementing such measures.

Am I missing something.

Because it opens them up to obscene liability if they don't have enforcement and age verifications well outside the range of what anyone who isn't a massive business is capable of implementing.
