Apologies, I have just read the Explainer (), which is fairly short, and in the Section "Who the Act Applies to", it says "The Act applies to services even if the companies providing them are outside the UK should they have links to the UK. This includes if the service has a significant number of UK users, if the UK is a target market, or it is capable of being accessed by UK users and there is a material risk of significant harm to such users."
?
So it's clear my group comes under the Act. As an unregistered, not-for profit, group, there is no revenue to take 10% of, as a fine, but I guess they could, in theory come after me in Austria. It would involve an extradition, not the easy to obtain EU arrest warrant., thanks to Brexit.
?
Also, no-one in my group has come close to committing any of the offences covered by this Act, so I do not feel threatened :-
- encouraging or assisting serious self-harm
- cyberflashing
- sending false information intended to cause non-trivial harm
- threatening communications
- intimate image abuse
- epilepsy trolling
