OSA is a censorship law that pushes the cost of monitoring and compliance onto website operators.
This means that unless you are a gigantic corporation with deep pockets and can afford all the hundreds of hours of lawyers, developers, and moderators needed to comply with the law then you really can't afford to operate websites that other people can use.
It is effectively handing over the keys of WWW to mega corporations in the UK.
If you are operating a personal website it doesn't impact you, but if you are doing forums or anything were more then a handful of users use then you'll need a pretty significant budget to keep it running without the fear of the government cracking down on you.
- unification_fan 2y agoThe UK has been seriously going downhill ever since it left the EU. Not that it was doing great before, but damn. I wouldn't want to be one of its citizens right now, knowing that all my compatriots are such fucking idiots. There's no other way to say it, I'm sorry. Hey it's not like I feel superior or smug about it. I'm affected too, in my own country. The world is slowly but surely giving away all of its democratic rights. One by one... But the problem is that all the uneducated, easily manipulated dumbfucks are letting "them" do it. As if they actually understood what they voted for. As if their opinion actually mattered. They're just pawns and nothing more. Sigh. Let me out already I don't deserve this.
