Föderation EN Di 04.03.2025 14:58:11 Save Our Sites! Faced with fines under the UK Online Safety Act, dozens of harmless, safe, small websites will shut down by the 17 March deadline. This is a threat to net plurality and federated social media! The Secretary of State has powers to change the categorisation of sites under the OSA. The UK government must act quickly to exempt small and harmless sites that don't experience problems. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/save-our-sites-deadline-17-march/ #SaveOurSites #fediverse #OnlineSafetyAct #netplurality #ukpolitics |

Föderation EN Di 04.03.2025 15:00:44 If the Secretary of State promises to act before 17 March, then small sites may well be saved, and more besides as people understand the new duties. Action is needed – quickly! If you're concerned, or impacted, then please email your MP (UK), asking that small, harmless sites are exempted from duties under the Online Safety Act, before they're closed down.

Föderation EN Di 04.03.2025 18:41:32 @openrightsgroup Done. No one leaves comments on my blog but bots. Can I avoid liability by simply turning off all comments? |

Föderation EN Mi 05.03.2025 09:53:28 @KennyPark @openrightsgroup That does indeed take you out of scope. It'd be good to mention that you had to do this to your MP tho! Effectively, the act makes it too risky for normal people to allow comments on their blogs! |
