If you run a UK-based fediverse instance, worth noting you now have 11 weeks to do a risk assessment and become compliant. If you're interested in a compliance training session with ofcom, doing some collective bargaining on compliance terms, or just finding out more about what's going on, this newsletter may be of interest https://buttondown.com/indie-and-community-web-compliance-/archive/1-quick-update-and-request-for-info/

@rachelcoldicutt oh, thank you Rachel! I'm signed up already, but will make sure i spread the word! (Unsure where the whole thing leaves me as a UK-citizen but EU-resident fediverse operator, but exactly why I'm following along very keenly). Thanks so much for all your work on this!

@mistertim @rachelcoldicutt well the ofcom page says "It doesn’t matter where you or your business is based. The new rules will apply to you (or your business) if the service you provide has a significant number of users in the UK, or if the UK is a target market.”

@amyworrall @mistertim @rachelcoldicutt How are ofcom proposing to punish services run outside the UK by UK non-residents? Air strikes?

@eaterofsnacks @mistertim @rachelcoldicutt dunno. I guess it's the same issue as the GDPS stuff from the EU. The regimes are trying to stop opt-outs of laws by virtue of the companies being elsewhere, at the cost of making it really bloody difficult for small providers.

@amyworrall @mistertim @rachelcoldicutt Ah, does this work in parallel to similar EU legislation?

@eaterofsnacks @mistertim @rachelcoldicutt I meant they’re both bits of legislation that claim to apply to companies based outside the country with the relevant law

@eaterofsnacks @amyworrall @mistertim @rachelcoldicutt Same as GDPR - international mutual agreements to freeze assets.
