The actual OfCom code of practice is here: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/resources/documents/onli...

A cycling site with 275k MAU would be in the very lowest category where compliance is things like 'having a content moderation function to review and assess suspected illegal content'. So having a report button.

This: OP seems to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Im surprised they don’t already have some form of report/flag button.

OP isn't throwing the baby with the bathwater and he explains it very well in his post: the risk of being sued is too great in itself, even if you end up winning the lawsuit.

The general risk of being sued is always there regardless of the various things laws say.

I think there’s a pretty decent argument being made here that OP is reading too far in the new rules and letting the worst case scenario get in the way of something they’re passionate about.

I wonder if they consulted with a lawyer before making this decision? That’s what I would be doing.

I think from a US perspective being sued is commonplace but in most of the world being sued is very rare.
