I recently looked through the requirements on Ofcom’s website, and to me it sounded like every email service falls well into their “user to user communication” category, which would have to “assess the risks”. It’s not really different than communicating in an internet forum, except it’s not public, but that’s not really a factor i think. Sending porn via email is probably as old as email itself.

Email providers cant moderate their users’ mails (i mean they could try, but that would likely be the end of them for the obvious breach in privacy). And having people have to age-verify for an email account would be ludicrous, especially considering children need emails for school, etc.

I wonder if they ever clarified anything about email services and how they would or would not be affected by this bullshit law.

I agree with most of his general sentiments, but I don’t really like him. He always comes off as a tad arrogant to me.
