The online safety bill may end up being used as a template for comparable legislation in other countries, and if it does, then implementation specifics will be something that may also be examined and copied.

Well said Nick. I think the WG should respond to this consultation. Aside from the potential template/cookie cutter concerns in other jurisdictions, the UK’s Online Safety Act will have an impact on UK LIRs. Who are still members of the RIPE community even if they’re no longer in the EU.
