I am so, SO curious about the "Fediverse Chick" spam campaign. We've suspended, like, a dozen of her accounts so far and she just keeps going.

Spent a while last night reading through Ofcom's Illegal Content Judgements Guidance under the #OnlineSafetyAct and I am so, so confused about what they expect us to do.
