What tosh.
Every so often, I see a Free software project which I think would benefit from some free, friendly legal / data protection advice, particularly at an early stage.
But lawyer ethics rules make it tricky to offer unless someone is explicitly asking about legal advice / looking for help. A sensible rule to stop ambulance chasing, but not so great in an environment based on volunteering.

Today, I am doing an Online Safety Act risk assessment for an Etherpad instance.
Ofcom's risk factors do not translate well to "collaborative text editing among nerds".
> The number of sick and disabled people out of work is putting the UK at risk of an "economic inactivity crisis" that threatens the country's prosperity, according to a new report.
What an inhumane framing.
I appreciate that I am going out on a limb here, but perhaps we should sodding well care for and look after people so that they can live their best, most fulfilling lives, not so that they can "return to work".
Honestly, this is disgusting.
