    I filed away my (sparse) notes for a Scots Language MUD I&amp;#39;d been sketching over the past 15 years. (Little actual development, more of a thought experiment, but it would have been fun.) The #OnlineSafetyAct makes it prohibitively expensive to even attempt. And to think MUDs were invented here. It&amp;#39;d be imposible now with this. I first played one on JANET back in the 90s too, a jewel in the UK tech crown https://youtu.be/Ax4DmUpunxQ?si=gI3qAl6s0qGXmqvH

    Can anyone recommend a good overview of the real impact of the Online Safety Act on UK internet services, please? I&amp;#39;m thinking irc, MUDs, indy games, forums, mastadon instances, mincraft servers... things like that (and add other things I&amp;#39;ve not mentioned in reply, please) I&amp;#39;m just trying to get my head around the scope of what would be covered by it #OnlineSafetyAct
