In which an ethical erotica producer, @girlonthenet, blocks UK visitors from listening to audio: "As per the Online Safety Act, text is not in scope but audio is. You are legally allowed to read the stories I write here without verifying your age, and I am legally allowed to show them to you … However the UK government has decided that it would be harmful to children if you were also allowed to hear them as audio … Deliberately breaking accessibility features on my website ranks among the most depressing things I have ever done." https://www.girlonthenet.com/osa/
