Well, not that must-read I guess
- eddythompson80 5mo agoYes, in general government censored speech is inherently not important by the fact the government censored it. Like if it were important it wouldn’t have been censored. Obviously.
- wackget 5mo agoExcept this is self-censorship. The author chose to make it unavailable.
- catcowcostume 5mo agoYou say it as if the author made it not available, rather than your own government. If anything, it proves the author's point.
- wackget 5mo agoThe author did make it unavailable. Nobody forced him to. He's kneecapping his own content and intentionally excluding UK users unnecessarily. Some random developer blog is absolutely not the target of the Online Safety Act. The OSA applies to "services with a significant number of UK users or where UK users are a target market". Anyone arguing that point is doing so in bad faith, probably to prove some agenda.
- aphyr 5mo agoI've put considerable time into this, including speaking with Ofcom directly. The guidance Ofcom issued for small site operators last year was that they did intend to target "one-man bands", and that there would be no guidance on specific numbers that constituted the "significant number" of UK visitors which triggers Part 3 and 5 provider restrictions.
