>I'm simply quoting Ofcom
no, you are doing more than that.
you are saying that everyone who has a different interpretation of the parts you are quoting is misinformed.
that is an opinion, which you are stating as fact, as someone unaffected by the outcome.
A valid point, and maybe I should have phrased it differently. I've deleted the comment which used the word "misinformed", so as not to cause any confusion.
My point is simply that the Ofcom quote clearly states that user comments on an article are not subject to the Online Safety Act. I assume this is a fact, as it's from the horse's mouth.
Some people appear to be basing their opinions on the assumption that the OSA does apply to such comments (hence my use of the offending word).
