But at least GDPR /is/ tractable to implement at small scale. Whereas for the OSB: if you run a smallish but popular chat/blog/forum/etc service, there literally isn’t a solution for moderation which isn’t fiendishly expensive, privacy invasive, or both.

The legislation has clearly been dreamt up by folks saying “ah ha! if we threaten the Facebook UK executive mangement team with jailtime unless they do better at filtering self-harm/CSAM/terrorism/etc then they will obviously get their house in order!”. Whereas in practice they crush their own UK-based startups instead. So frustrating.
