I highly doubt the US government would look fondly on a US-based service taking down a US-based social media site because Ofcom complained to them about them not adhering to local laws. Especially under this administration. It would be seen as foreign interference. And for that reason, I very much doubt Ofcom would ever do that. They'd just block the site violating OSA.
Quite a few have suggested the OSA is intended to further centralise the internet. Looking at the impact so far and they are not wrong...
What do you mean "centralise"? Into larger websites?
Big companies can follow the vast regulations while small ones are pushed out.
