Right or wrong I think many have misread the legislation or read poor coverage of it given people's reasoning.

Much of things boils down to doing a risk assessment and deciding on mitigations.

Unfortunately we live in a world where if you allow users to upload and share images, with zero checks, you are disturbingly likely to end up hosting CSAM.

Ofcom have guides, risk assessment tools and more, if you think any of this is relevant to you that's a good place to start.

So... paperwork, with no real effect, use, or results. And you're trying to defend it?

I do agree with need something, but this is most definitely not the solution.

Putting in mitigations relevant to your size, audience and risk factors is not "no real effect".

If you've never considered what the risks are to your users, you're doing them a disservice.

I've also not defended it, I've tried to correct misunderstandings about what it is and point to a reliable primary source with helpful information.
