[UK ONLINE LAW] The Online Safety Act came into effect today

[britporn_mike]

FOR MY UK PEOPLE TAKE NOTE, The Online Safety Act came into force today.


"Social media platforms face significant fines if they fail to implement robust measures in the UK to tackle illegal content, including fraud, terrorism, and child sexual abuse material, under new digital safety laws.

Tech companies must implement safeguards that take action against illegal harms such as encouraging suicide, extreme pornography and selling drugs.

From Monday, every site and app within the scope of the Online Safety Act, which covers more than 100,000 services from Facebook, Google and X to Reddit and OnlyFans, will be required to take steps to stop such content appearing or to take it down if it goes online."

Ofcom can not replace parenting, they can try enforce all the laws they want, parents need to raise their kids not government bureaucrats.

My understanding and I stand to be corrected is it does not matter where the site is hosted, it applies to any UK user that reaches the site.

More places to block , it's sad how adults are being restricted of watching porn online

Enforcing it will be a nightmare for websites.
