#Newsnight now mouthing #Offcom's one-sided and spurious labelling of anyone seeking to preserve their privacy as avoiding scrutiny rather than trying to maintain their human right to #privacy.
Regardless, we are going to see a lot more instances of business and individuals shutting down services that allow public posting, which of course includes any UK based and even UK facing Mastodon servers.
#OffCom recently published its proposals for implementation, for consultation. They are >1,500 pages long.
How can anyone but a corporation understand let alone comply. It'll be a clusterfuck, as warned.
Having had time to digest this 🤣 I wonder if there's any light you can shed on what would allow a no-server/no-owner Mastodon like service to operate without being affected by the Act. I'm wondering how to build a p2p protocol to avoid being in scope, but don't know the catch criteria, where the lines are, exceptions etc. 🤷♂️
