Small, low-risk sites should be out of scope so long as providers have a reasonable belief that children will not come across harmful material on them, say campaigners.

@johnleonard Should have been called the "Online Danger Reduction Act" with focus on the highest risks of online harm.
The people and websites most inconvenienced should be the high risk ones.
Small, safe, websites should not be required to do anything.
As it currently stands the burden falls unfairly on small forums and community groups. This is both unfair and unenforceable.
@johnleonard A mostly good article, but responding to complaints is reactive not "proactive" moderation.
