"Platforms have three months to carry out risk assessments identifying potential harms on their services or they could be fined up to 10% of their global turnover."
"platforms will need to identify if, where and how illegal content might appear on their services and ways they will stop it reaching users" so, you summarise the Admin reporting function, same as spammers are dealt with.
So, let's say I've just done a risk assessment and decided we're cool. I write that down and we're good, right?
"10% of turnover" = is £0. There's no income from sales so you can't be fined.
"The regulator's illegal content codes will still need to be approved by parliament before they can come fully into force on 17 March.
But platforms are being told now, with the presumption that the codes will have no issue passing through parliament, and firms must have measures in place to prevent users from accessing outlawed material by this date."
This all sounds like you need a document outlining how content is removed and that's your lot. It doesn't seem to impact non-profits so what am I missing that would lead to you being fined?
