[LUG]Re: UK online Safety Act

 

Thanks Dan, that is very helpful, I feel more confident about being able to promote.

End of the day, this is a friendly, inclusive community, helpful community and I really want the LUG to thrive where others have fallen off the radar.

Re ID verification, the only time I can think of this is or was relevant is when we used to do key signing, and that was rare.


Thanks again

Paul

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.
