Open Rights GroupThere's still time to put pressure on the UK government.The UK Secretary of State has the power to exempt small, safely moderated websites from the Online Safety duties.We need urgent change to protect net plurality, rather than further consolidating power in monopoly platforms.

Open Rights GroupThe UK Online Safety Act comes into effect today.Its onerous duties may cause many small sites, blogs and fedi instances to shut down or geoblock UK users when faced with potential fines and penalties.This won't keep children safe. It'll benefit large platforms like Facebook and X that are laying waste to content moderation.<a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/14/online_safety_act/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/14/online_safety_act/</a><a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/OnlineSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnlineSafety</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/onlinesafetyact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onlinesafetyact</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ukpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpolitics</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ofcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ofcom</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/netplurality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#netplurality</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activitypub</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpol</a>

Open Rights GroupWhen it comes to blogs, Ofcom says one thing, the UK Online Safety Act says another.This lack of clarity over whether blogs with comments are exempt will push small sites to shut down completely.We need the UK government to tighten up the definitions and exemptions in the Act.Read our explainer for more detail ➡️ <a href="https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/save-our-sites-deadline-17-march/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/save-our-sites-deadline-17-march/</a><a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/onlinesafetyact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onlinesafetyact</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ofcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ofcom</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/netplurality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#netplurality</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/onlinesafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onlinesafety</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a>

Open Rights GroupUnder the UK Online Safety Act, small blogs, forums and fedi instances are faced with disproportionate requirements to:⚫️ Check if they have UK users⚫️ Do a risk assessment on whether kids might access the content, or if CSAM or terrorist material might be posted in the comments⚫️ Put themselves at the risk of fines, and even prison sentences, if they fail to comply with Ofcom’s future directives<a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/SaveOurSites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveOurSites</a> 🌐<a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/onlinesafetyact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onlinesafetyact</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/ofcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ofcom</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/netplurality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#netplurality</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/onlinesafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onlinesafety</a> <a href="https://social.openrightsgroup.org/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a>
