The whole government page at https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-c... has an off-putting and threatening tone, celebrating how wonderful it is that online spaces will be tied in bureaucratic knots. Disgraceful.

I host a Mastodon server in the US. I almost wish I could get a legal threat from the UK so that I could print it and hang it on my wall as a conversation piece.

I have zero legal connection to the UK and their law doesn't mean jack to me. I look forward to thoroughly ignoring it, in the same way that I thoroughly ignore other dumb laws in other distant jurisdictions.

UK, look back on this as the day -- well, another day -- when you destroyed your local tech in favor of the rest of the world.
