We might need to block the uk

It looks like we might be affected by the UK Online Safety act, even if our community is safe for everyone. This is due to the fact that we would still need to compile risk assessments and do some paperwork to serve uk users, or, at least, this is my understanding.

Some info are here, and the suggestion they give is to geoblock the uk :

Before making any hasty decisions, I’d like to ask if there is anyone from uk here that can clarify or give some advice, considering also what other forums are doing.

Note: This only affects hub.jmonkeyengine.org and library.jmonkeyengine.org, since they display user submitted content.

I’m from the UK. This is the least well thought out piece of legislation in history

I have plans to write to my MP that’s for sure. A lot of people do seem legitimately quite angry

Wouldn’t suprise me if VPNs became standard issue for people from the UK
