I think I figured out what is so annoying about #onlineSafetyAct - #ofcom has written all its' docs assuming you are complicated bespoke service with dedicated staff to do "legal stuff". There's no pre-done, "just you use this" for perfectly standard, ordinary, foreseeable cases.
We shouldn't be arguing about "is every spammer who emails me porn a 'user' of my email service".
@falken fwiw and on your last point: there’s an exemption in the act for email services.
But I wholly agree with your point. It’s ridiculous that you need a lawyer to comply with this!
@derickr @michael or not. Just say you don't have "significant" number of UK users so out of scope.
#OFCOM point blank refused on call today to give a number/percentage/way to calculate so just decide if you are smaller than a tenth of a tenth of a tenth Facebook, it's fine.
My maths says less than 3 million isn't therefore "significant" by any global standard, or less than 60k by UK standards.
