> the problem is that the accountability is asymmetric very much so, large companies are not really held accountable for their user's actions, and thats pretty much by design, for example: If you hold a party every saturday, where the people that come along abuse residents in the streets and cause general damage, after the 5th or 6th time, and at about the point where the patrons of your parties are prosecuted, you will face legal penalties for letting it happen again. even if its different people at your party. (under a whole bunch of laws, ranging from asbos to breach of the peace to criminal damage, anti-rave laws, all sort.) If you do that online, as long as you comply with the bare minimum(ie handing over logs), you're free from most legal pain (unless its CSAM, copyrighted or "terrorist" material) I get your point, but thats where the we get into not a problem of the principle, but the execution. As its OFCOM who are doing the implementing, and they really don't have the expertise or leadership to make "good" guidance, we're going to end up with shit.
