The point would be to shutter all UK focused sites (hyper specific and 100% UK such as Islington, Brixton, etc).
And to instead acknowledge that LFGSS has a global audience (yesterday 50% of all traffic was from the USA alone, about 20% of traffic is currently from Tor where I've no idea where it's from)... rename LFGSS to something that isn't London specific, and let it just be a site on the internet, not a site aimed at UK users. It's almost hilarious how many people posting about how sad it is are not even in the UK.
Then, alongside the large international fora in other languages, such as Pignole Fixe, etc... to basically go "no staff in UK, no servers in UK, not aimed at UK people"... and if the Europeans who pick this up do it in Germany and to comply with strict data laws there just disable all logging of country of access, etc...
... well, that would not be a UK service to UK users run by UK staff... in fact, it's way outside of the OSA and UK reach... but only by shuttering the explicitly UK oriented sites.
And honestly, if any user ever says they're in the UK... they should just be banned. Feel free to talk about the place, but internet users should be users of the internet.
