I think I listened to the same feature as you - it made it sound as if unpaid moderators were also at risk of unlimited fines
I know ofcom has said it won't be touching the smaller sites - but would you trust that ?

Yes, that sounds like it. I didn’t quite catch if he said 18 or 80 million pound fines, whichever he certainly didn’t want to take the risk.

Whole thing feels a lot like the legislation around dogs and knives. Overcomplicating legitimate pursuits while not addressing the root of the problem. Anyway, probably straying into politics so will stop there.

Perhaps there is a highland midge and electric fly swatter analogy?

You may catch a few if you swing wildly for long enough, but you will use up a lot of energy before you realise the only way to avoid them is to go indoors.

Well done Mr. P, hope you had a lie in after that.

Time to get familiar with the latest iteration of The Matrix...

Blue pill or red?

Pesronally I don't think dogs should be allowed to have knives and any legislation that helps prevent this is welcome.

The root cause of the problem is somewhat beyond ofcom's control. They are trying to put a genie back in the bottle.
Ofcom's spectacular lack of clarity has been really unhelpful. They are not trying to put the genie back in the bottle. They are just spewing smoke in the hope no-one can see they aren't even trying, probably because they've decided it's impossible to save all the small sites getting destroyed.

At one point, Ofcom were refusing to say what is email and what is a direct message, in their opinion.
