The bill itself doesn't appear to exempt anyone. From Taylor Wessing:
"[following amendments] The OSB continues to apply to any service that enables content generated, uploaded or shared by one user to be encountered by another user (user-to-user services) or that allows users to search more than one website or database (search services)."
- ChrisKnott 3y agoIt actual exempts several categories (email servers etc). My point is that there is no reason to think the regulations that eventually come into force for services which aren't exempted will be as ridiculous as you suggest. I agree that the OSB gives Ofcom the power to regulate Minecraft servers, but those regulations must be reasonable and proportionate so I don't believe that it will affect a private individual running a private server, as you appeared to suggest.
- b800h 3y agoYeah agree about point to point services. Email and SMS and voice. What I don't see is the bit where it says that the audit responsibilities are limited to certain people or companies. If you could point to the "reasonable and proportionate" bit in the legislation that would be interesting to check out.
