Ofcom says that it does not expect the same of small sites and services, as it does of larger sites/services.

It is a principles-based regulator, which as pros and cons. It gives flexibility, but can leave people feeling lost.

Ofcom's preference is always to work with services to secure voluntary compliance.

It will be focussing its powers on "egregious" services.

If someone is working constructively, that will always be recognised.

Ofcom is trying to provide useful resources, but "this is a journey".

They are considering what else they can do.

The recognise that it is not "feasible" for everyone to read many hundreds of pages of guidance.

(Hint hint: onlinesafetyact.co.uk is all CC-licensed, and I'd be open to talking with Ofcom about taking it over if they could make good use of it...)
