Forum and website • Re: The site and an idiotic bill

Think about that.

I did, when the UK's Online Safety Act was passed and they were starting to try and probe businesses outside of the UK. And I concluded that they simply have no legal reason to impose any fines for laws that apply to the UK only. The same goes for the USA, for Australia, for any other area looking at these things. It is utter nonsense to even consider it. Unless I operate my business in a region that has these kinds of laws in effect, there is simply no way these arbitrary laws and fines can be imposed.

The premise is also a little weird:

if your script that checks for an age verification API happens to be down for the weekend

What makes you think that such a script can be "down" when the actual site is not?
