Online Safety Act

[Edge]

The act is due to become law later this quarter.
And we might have to tweak a few things to comply with it

I’m currently reading up on the stuff in it & have a huge online safety risk questionnaire to fill in.
The main issues seem to be around sending direct messages to each other & proof of age

If you're interested there’s lots of stuff about it here - https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/

And as of today it is law

To help comply we have added a Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) scanner to any images that are posted.

We will also need to do something around Direct Messages/Conversations.
They can't be read by anyone other than those in the conversation unless we start poking around in the database tables.

We're not going to be downloading the tables & going through all DM's but we will probably install an add-on or two that allows DM's to be searched for certain keywords that could be linked to illegal behaviour.
If & when the add-ons are installed we'll be updating the privacy policy to reflect that automated searches are being performed

well done Edge, keeping us clean and tidy . This just goes to show the work and effort that has to be put in by our brilliant volunteers . Its not just what happens on the pitch, we all have the same aim volunteers or not and can all contribute to making this club a success. Last Saturday the Riff Raff found their voices ( and drum) again -- fantastic so keep it up !! Lets all be loud and proud, get behind the lads and ensure we all put our bit in to get that promotion spot .
Forza green

Ofcom has said that for small sites, the costs of complying “are likely to be negligible or in the small thousands at most”.

Might need a go fund me setting up!
