UK

From the 25th July 2025, the child protection aspect of the Online Safety Act 2023 came into force in the UK. In a nutshell, organisations can be fined up to £18m or 10% of their income if they fail to take reasonable measures to protect UK users from accessing and viewing UK age restricted content on the world wide web. 

2022 was turning into a good year for work. I had just secured a working from home opportunity for a well known UK based insurance company. Turns out they had just recently offered the majority of their in house development team early retirement. The ones that were left to pick up the pieces had too much work to handle updating Drupal to the latest version and this was the primary reason I was being brought in.
