Forum for single dad's closes due to UK Online Safety Act SecTeff March 17, 2025 86 upvotes /r/MensRights The UK's Online Safety Act is really bad for small independent sites. It requires anyone hosting 'user-to-user' services such as a small web forum to undergo a risk assessment. The owners of the site then have a legal responsibility (with the threat of losing your house levels of fines) if they don't comply with a range of measures to try and tackle online harms. One of the sites to close is a UK webforum for single dads. See- https://www.dadswithkids.co.uk/ams/forum-closure.28/ Meanwhile the regulator OFCOM has announced its enforcement priorities. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/enforcing-the-online-safety-act-platforms-must-start-tackling-illegal-material-from-today/ They include ensure 'Women and girls face less gendered harm and abuse online.'.
