In theory, HackerNews should be concerned. There is no prevention of children using the site, and potentially "harmful content" could be access either on or through the site. Being an aggregator doesn't seem to be a get-out.

This has nothing to do with harmful content it’s about managing children’s data you collect.

So if I (not really) a 13 year old of the UK provide my email address to HN, how is that managed?

>>bArray+(OP)
Wrong law.

This is GDPR. So long as they conform to the 13 principles then HN will be fine. Its nothing to do with the online safety act.

For the OSA (which I think is very badly drafted, and poorly enforced by OFCOM) so long as there is decent moderation (which there is), a way to report posts (there is) and the site doesn't persistently host actual abuse, then you're mostly fine.

It doesn't help that OFCOM are unwilling to change the scope of guidance to match the size and type of community.

that's not data.
