Title: Online Safety Act Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, 17:05:13 I've seen quite a lot of fairly doom laden predictions about what this legislation means for small forums with non professional moderators.
Is Barry or anyone on the moderation team across this or looking at it? Is it overblown panic? Title: Re: Online Safety Act Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, December 19, 2024, 12:42:00 This is the first I have heard about this thing, I dont watch the news TBH.
I will make enquiries.

Is Barry or anyone on the moderation team across this or looking at it? Is it overblown panic? Sorry for replying so late and thanks for the post. I didn't intentionally avoid this, Venks actually messaged me and gave me the headsup and then I forgot again. I'm treating it a bit like GDPR, giving it a gallic shrug and seeing what happens. I truth I did some reading up on it and I believe the main things are having a named contact and some kind of risk assessment. Turning off priavte messaging could be an option, but I see the whole thing as being unworkable for an likely under-staffed part of the government that'll surely be rendered toothless by the scale of work required. If we avoid CSAM and the likes I'm sure it'll be fine. |
