People seem to forget that the more legislation there is around something the more it is only feasible to do if you are a corporate person. Human persons just don't have the same rights or protections from liabilty.

If you read the guidance:

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/onli...

It amounts to your basic terms of service. It means that you'll need to moderate your forums, and prove that you have a policy for moderation. (basically what all decent forums do anyway) The crucial thing is that you need to record that you've done it, and reassessed it. and prove "you understand the 17 priority areas"

Its similar for what a trustee of a small charity is supposed to do each year for its due diligence.

Yep super simple. You just have to make individual value judgements every day on thousands of pieces of content for SEVENTEEN highly specific priority areas. Then keep detailed records on each value judgement such that it can hold up to legal scrutiny from an activist court official. Easy peasy.

Any competent forum operator is already doing all of this (and more) just without the government-imposed framework. Would the OP allow CSAM to be posted on their website? No. Would the OP contact the authorities if they caught someone distributing CSAM on their website? Yes. Forum administrators are famous (to the point of being a meme) for their love of rules and policies and procedures.

What is your evidence that the record keeping described by the parent is routine among competent forum operators?
