Comment on How are you dealing with the UK's Online Safety Act, that comes into effect this March?

I’m not a Brit (but worried similar stuff is coming here to America), but it sounds like you have to enforce those rules. Theoretically, from my high level understanding, would it be enough to have those rules in place, and when reported actively remove the content as a mod?

I can’t tell exactly, but it sounds like the biggest thing is that there needs to be a way to remove the content quickly, which we have.

As a higher more automated level, I’m guessing our automod stuff that most of us admins are using would probably be enough, or if not that some basic AI models.

It doesn’t sound like they expect it to be perfect, here in the states they don’t expect me to be perfect, but they damn well expect me to follow correct process if I do become aware of something. It’s essentially A) I need to take reasonable preventative measures, like actively moderating, doing what I can automatically, banning bad users and removing content when needed and then B) Immediately taking action if I do become aware of anything, keeping evidence for the feds.
