Ofcom is undertaking a paid survey for people who work for companies in scope of the UK #OnlineSafetyAct. If any of y'all are running Mastodon/Akkoma/Pixelfed/etc servers and have some kind of legal entity for doing so, drop me a line and I'll make an introduction.

I'm gonna ask if that's *just* companies or if any community forum counts.

Just heard back from the #OnlineSafetyAct survey folks: they'd also like to hear from people who run informal/volunteer community sites. Anyone who runs a Mastodon instance, Pixelfed server, PHPBB forum, etc. and has any UK users.

If you'd like me to put you in touch with the survey group, feel free to DM me, or email [email protected], with your name, email, and the site you run. I'll pass that on to Serrula Research, which is running the survey for Ofcom.

@aphyr maybe? Mastodon.Radio is hosted and I live in the UK. It wouldn't be hard for ofcom to work this out.
What's the confidentiality situation with this research?
I'd rather not appear under ofcom's nose in a list of sites to pay close attention to...
@M0YNG I have no idea, sorry! They promise a certain degree of anonymity in the survey, but I can't vouch for the research firm.
