Delighted to see this thread on NANOG.

In an era of the Online Safety Act in UK that becomes a serious risk to enforcing falsity as truth by law and Treaty obligation. So what's to be done?

We could do more proactive outreach when we detect conflicts. That's valuable feedback. Would you recommend a specific approach - perhaps flagging high-confidence conflicts in a report ISPs could opt into?
“I know what I don’t know” (i.e. there’s no reason my opinion here would be either well-informed or particularly relevant) – but I am certain that some of the operators on this list will have timely suggestions…
