Imagine being British lmao
Very surreal that you posted this since just this morning I was trying to work out if I needed to do anything to bring the board into compliance.
I think it's probably OK, here are the resources I found...

I do think I am probably obliged to write some explicit terms and conditions, not that I really want to.
I think it's helpful that neither me nor the website are based in the UK but even so this is awful and intimidating legislation from the British government. British parliamentarians have no idea how the internet works and have zero interest in protecting the interests of independent sites. As far as they are concerned the web is just facebook plus tiktok plus pornhub. Only with that mindset does this legislation even half make sense.
As a 'techie' it makes me feel nothing so much as indignant. We built the internet, gave normies access to it, and they pay us back by totally fucking it up. Reeeeee.
I think it'll become like the GDPR cookie shit (and the greater ToC legacy pile before it) over time where "compliance" will mean ticking some checkbox or putting yet another popup on screen for users to crane their necks around.
