I'm not sure it's down to the new EU Digital Services Act (which is more focused on "online" behaviour, rather than client-side), but nb Art. 25(1) of the DSA: "1. Providers of online platforms shall not design, o

In the UK, the AVPA - age verification providers association (members include Experian) have been super active on the Online Safety Bill. Curious to know if there's a US involvement , too. The media seems to have missed this - then ag

On a scale of 1-10, how silly do you think it is that sites like your will likely have to comply with the 270+ page Online Safety Bill if you get a "significant number" of UK users? https://wikimedia.org.uk/2023&#x
