The "has links with the UK" portion of the "regulated service" definition says if UK users are a "target market", or if the "service is capable of being used in the United Kingdom" and there's user generated content with a "material risk of significant harm" then it "has links".
If an app is available in an app store are the users who can access it not a target market?
I'm not really sure what "material risk of significant harm" means for the second qualifier but if it means "users can potentially post bad things" then that seems very broad too.
I feel it's telling that they had a need to make exceptions explicitly for email/voip/sms texting.
- rlpb 4y agoIf it's not a "user-to-user service", then it's not a "regulated user-to-user service" either and therefore not a "regulated service". Whether or not it "has links" or is a "service is capable of being used in the United Kingdom" is therefore moot.
