Apologies if discussed, but can anyone shed light on whether this forum will be able to continue with the new legislation being brought in?
Here's the link to the thread on the other forum I frequent, with further links in the thread.

What a load of nanny state wank.
That sounds like a load of cunt. Could it be hosted in the EU or something?
Risk assessments for a fucking forum! They're be introducing health and safety officers to monitor these places next.
Just another law where the absence of de minimis provisions, which seem to be increasingly absent these days, will have a potentially very harmful effect.
Sounds like actual internet two point oh could be upon us.
All that said, how on earth will any of this be policed?

As long as one of us doesn’t go and shoot up a school and bring attention to themselves and their electronic devices, I think this bustling place will stay somewhat under the radar.
I'm by no means an expert, but isn't it more about the hosts having to cover themselves? For example anyone could say something potentially libel at any time, and can the hosts risk something like that with the huge repercussions/fines?
Can't be having people posting on a football manager forum without the landowner's approval.
Can we just move the place to a less idiotic country?
So if I go and murder a loads of school kids phonics goes to jail?
Sadly we will have to keep Harold banned.
This sounds like a 'knives on Amazon are the real problem' kind of thing.
You going to take one for the team? You would also end up in the slammer.So if I go and murder a loads of school kids phonics goes to jail?
Two birds, one stone.
Back to thedugout.net!
Also, Scouse, why are you floating back in with the apparent explicit intent to get this place shut down?
I always thought we were hosted in Tuvalu, but that might be 15 odd years out of date.
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...act-applies-toWho the Act applies to
The Act’s duties apply to search services and services that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other. This includes a range of websites, apps and other services, including social media services, consumer file cloud storage and sharing sites, video-sharing platforms, online forums, dating services, and online instant messaging services.
The Act applies to services even if the companies providing them are outside the UK should they have links to the UK. This includes if the service has a significant number of UK users, if the UK is a target market, or it is capable of being accessed by UK users and there is a material risk of significant harm to such users.
That's insane.
Your tax dollars at work. Thanks for keeping us safe.
The obvious thing to do is to ignore it until someone actually bothers us. Or just have Claude write whatever documents are requested.
Who the fuck is ScousePig?
Reads like Large Tech's version of financial fair play.
It's not per se insane if the point is to have a tool to deal with problematic content.
The way it becomes insane is if it leads to the need for upfront compliance, which will obviously be ruinously burdensome. Like everything else conceived in this country in the last 30 years, that will be the case, the complaince costs will be devastating and none of the actual problems will be addressed - as with AML regulations, as with the bat protection shit, as with everything.
Yeah what's the grudge there. Surely if you fuck off then you just fuck off.
I'd have to kill myself, fuck being locked up with that cunt.You going to take one for the team? You would also end up in the slammer.
Two birds, one stone.
We've used the last of the donations to hire PWC to make us compliant. Never fear.
Surely you go after the low hanging fruit with this stuff first. i.e. the large platforms that e.g. show livestreams of people immolating themselves.
We’ll be fine.
Can they also create a diversity strategic plan for us?
Imagine Smiffy coming back just to ruin it for us.
We are hiring no Mexicans for the admin roles.
I've taken legal advice on this, and have come to the following conclusion: Fuck 'em.
Sunderland fans wetting the bed as usual.
Does your other head agree with that statement?
Jimmy's going to need to be banned from posting football opinions because that is definitely distressing content.
Those rules would have kept 12 year old me out back in 2010.
These rules also apply to facebook and X don't they? I'm sure no-one will shit the bed when people aren't willing to give ofcom their identity documents to log on to shite social media and the profits take a hit.
Let's just make the forum private and crack on.
Classic close the door behind me.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Ah phew. Panic over, everybody.
