With the new UK online safety laws, I am both responsible and at legal and financial risk for members posts. For as long as I could, I let the discussion flow freely on this site. However, for self protection my policy has to change. When I (or the moderation team) see posts that are too close to the edge, we will delete them. When threads are getting too heated, we will close them, and perhaps also hide them.
The alternative is for me to either close the site to avoid personal liability, or wait until I get prosecuted, which will also result in site closure.
If you dislike this policy we can always put you personally at legal and financial risk because all they require is one named person who is responsible for everyones posts. Any volunteers?
