Unless something changes in the Online Safety Act that is, as it is due to take full effect in March 2025.
RTG despite being relatively small falls foul of the majority of the conditions and continuing to provide the service will simply not be practical with the resources we have (both people and monetary wise).
In a nutshell, we have to do lots of risk assessments before that date, have lots of written procedures in place to deal with them, delete any content which is illegal, but also have a complaints process in place so that anyone who complains about their content being removed has that addressed promptly. We will also have to prevent children accessing the platform and put age verification measures in place and will have to scan uploaded content to check it isn't harmful. There is a whole lot more to it than that but hopefully you get the idea - it will all just be too onerous. The potential fine for not complying is up to £18 million or 10% of company turnover whichever is greater.
Have a read of this post on another forum as that admin puts it all more eloquently than I ever could, but broadly the same applies here.

but benefits Meta, X, etc. so I don't have confidence that it'll be changed
