Hello of band of web wizards!
I am looking for a resource for current website legal requirements for the
USA and UK. I did the typical Google search and found a site for the UK,
but it's second-hand info. I don't have a definitive resource for the USA.
Specially, I am looking to write privacy statements, legal non-mumbo-jumbo,
and check current accessibility issues. I also want to be compliant of any
other laws I may not know details about, such as the one about asking before
you put someone's name/email on an email newsletter subscription.
Any suggestions? I'm probably missing something downright obvious.
these references (though mostly Australian) may help you scope the legal
risks
