An Ofcom spokesperson said yesterday that fines would be the first tool used to ensure compliance (along with a referral to the police where necessary) before things like prosecution or geoblocking.

It will be interesting to see what happens with X as people can join from aged 13 and there is plenty of pornography on there. Musk seems to think he can do whatever he pleases, so I can see X being eventually geoblocked. IMO this won't be a bad thing and should be a major incentive to people to switch to Blue Sky.

They advertise themselves as being 'what social media should be', which I assume to mean that it is professionally run with appropriate moderation policies.
