Regarding the UK's Online Safety Act: I see lots of arguments not to worry because Ofcom doesn't have the resources or interest to go after small low-risk sites.

E.g: https://cupoftea.social/@duckyfella/113893820384456398

That's probably valid in the current circumstances.

Anybody want to bet that'll still be true if we have a more politically motivated government - e.g., Musk's pick for Farage's replacement as leader of the Reform party and prime minister who would have the opportunity to use the Act selectively?

There's a general rule of not giving government's powers you wouldn't want your worst enemies to have.
