Fear/risk is at work here. Government by clear guidance, not guesswork is needed. The word "unlikely" is doing too much lifting in the guidance. OFCOM need to hard clarity with the kind of detail to satisfy lawyers. OSB is sound in its aims, a fumbled hot potato in its long-long discussion, a hash of an implementation, and the explication/communication is a regurgitated dogs dinner. Normally our gov communication is very good. Why can't OFCOM write? I guess we all know any forum with more than a few members likely already has software and some basic policy settings to do this. Unclear guidance is making operators jumpy and afraid.

An opportunity for anyone with a transformer from "UK.GOV Hand-waving" -> forum_settings.json
