[LUG]Re: UK online Safety Act

 
Nothing I can see prevents young people taking part in this. There's nothing overtly adult or over-18 about the subject, a general "all audiences" theme is good enough.

OSA is actually unenforceable internationally/globally (violates a bunch of human rights to privacy and security amongst other things) and is not relevant to general audience groups - there's nothing we require identity verification for.

It's already being worn down and will have to exist at a far smaller scope than the people who invented it wants it to, if at all.

Hi All

Just asking a question here regarding the UK Online Safety Act,  does
this actually prevent young people from taking part in activities such
as Mission Libre, and perhaps even joining groups such as this.

It would be useful to know where people stand on a range of issues in
respect of the act.
