itch.io response to the UK Online Safety Act
At 2025-07-27 22:08 UTC, itch.io made a statement about the UK Online Safety Act (OSA). In it, they say that adult content will not be available at all to UK visitors until they find a solution that complies with the act. Just like the deindexing of adult content due to Collective Shout campaign, this currently does not affect the ability to download content already in a user's library. 1
In their statement, they also express their disagreement with the OSA and encouraged readers to express their concerns by reaching out to advocacy groups, local representatives, and by signing a petition. 1
