QuestionableQuesting is not hosted in the UK - as such, it is not immediately subject to the UK's Online Safety Act.
While the OSA does add stipulations for some non-UK based sites, these are for sites that have a "Link to the UK"
1. The service has a significant amount of UK users
- We are small enough that we fall outside of all of the major categorizations, which start at the hundreds of thousands of UK users- we hardly have 100k Daily Active Users period, and the UK residents are far and away from the majority here.
2. The service has UK users as a target market
- QuestionableQuesting has no revenue stream outside of user donations- we do not run advertisements, we do not charge users for features, and we do not sell licensed or official merchandise (that one year's April fool's joke was a 'design your own' mug/bottle site).
3. The service poses a material risk of harm to UK users
- They do provide a list of what they consider illegal harms, and it's stuff that is already against the rules of the site and covered by existing United States law (where we are hosted). We don't host such content.
As such, we have no plans to make any configuration nor rules changes for the UK Online Safety Act.
Or as some might say: "Bollocks to that, now get back to wanking."
