Hello

The UK government are planning to change the laws of online safety and I was curious what measures Discourse are taking to address this or if there is a suggested response for anyone who is hosting in the UK?

[https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/time-for-tech-firms-to-act-uk-online-safety-regulation-comes-into-force/](https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/time-for-tech-firms-to-act-uk-online-safety-regulation-comes-into-force/)

Our community are looking into this but it’s unclear to me if the onus is on us or Discourse, which in theory would mean every WhatsApp groupchat or Discord server would need to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help (I did check but couldn’t find a recent thread about this)
