Reading over the government page for this act, it seems like common sense. I get the impression that any properly moderated forum would already be implementing such measures.
Because it opens them up to obscene liability if they don't have enforcement and age verifications well outside the range of what anyone who isn't a massive business is capable of implementing.
TL;DR: The UK OS~~B~~A strikes again.
Edit: l long thought it were named Bill, not Act. Sorry for the confusion.
You are right though. It was named a Bill, now it is named an Act :-) https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/publications/bills-acts/
What is the UK OSB?
edit: Online Safety Act
What's the B? Bureau?
I still don't know.
I said biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!
(looks around for wife)
whispers
I said, I said, I said...
How does it strike again though?
