Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Are we governed by American media law with a Harringayonline dot com ?
I get that the Harringay diaspora is global, but just wondered.
http://harringayonline.co.uk doesn’t reroute unfortunately

Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)
The law allows the U.S. government to access digital communications such as email, social media messages, information on public cloud databases, and more with a subpoena. No warrant is required if the items in question are 180 days old or older.The domain .com was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense, but is today operated by Verisign, and remains under ultimate jurisdiction of U.S. law. Additionally, as the Internet was invented in the United States, most American businesses and enterprises have used the .com domain

It reroutes for me.
HoL is governed by the same laws as any online entity. I've alway worked to UK/EU rules of governance of legal requirements.
To the extent that the 'invention' of the internet can be pinned to a single person or place, isn't Englishman Tim Berners Lee the only individual ever credited with having 'invented; the world-wide-web?

I do hope it's a distant consideration Hugh but just out of interest what happens to this site and all the information in it when you kick the digital bucket and have your consciousness uploaded into the clouds?

It’s already in the British Library’s digital archive and of course the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive. I’ve been archiving the history stuff (and since being invited to sit on the Hornsey Historical Society’s publications committee have found out that some of it makes its way to the HHS archive too).
So at the point that this website and I go our separate ways, the past content should be in some way safeguarded, for what it’s worth.
As to the site’s future after me, that will depend on where things are at the time. Since HOL began in 2007, the social media sphere has got much bigger, even locally. So people are finding outlets other than HOL for local communication. If this site has a place after our parting of ways, and somebody appropriate and trustworthy wants to pick it up, then I’m sure that can be arranged. If not, then I guess the plug will be pulled.

That's good news. It would have been a shame for it to just disappear.

That is interesting Hugh. How can any of us live with the loss of poetic gems like this post from Darrell Osborne on the state of society and Wood Green High Street in particular. https://harringayonline.com/forum/topics/the-hell-that-is-wood-green
If I remember right, after traffic related posts, this was one of the most active posts on HOL.
