The legislation documents are very long and changes between versions are not easy to find. It would be great if someone has the time to comb through the different revisions and find where the identity verification was added. So far the only source for this info is what the Youtuber said the MP told him. There will hopefully be an interview with this MP so we can quote them directly but finding the source in the legislation would be best.

The main comment I wanted to make was on the use of red links. Generally, red links should be used only where it is: | |||
# expected that a page on the topic would be appropriate for the wiki, and | |||
# a Wikipedia page does not exist for the relavent entity | |||
If a reader is looking for additonal context about an involved entity, it will usually be more helpful to point them towards the relevant wikipedia page than to provide them with a red link here. | |||
Other than that, I feel like Theo's section may be given undue weight? there's been an awful lot of commentary on the act out there so it should be possible to find more/better sources which make similar points but are more reputable. | |||
It also probably needs some information explaining the different 'classes' that websites can be sorted into based on their size, content, and features, and how the requirements differ based on that. [[User:Keith|Keith]] ([[User talk:Keith|talk]]) 11:43, 19 August 2025 (UTC) | |||
