• Ofcom is now the regulator of online safety and must make sure that platforms are protecting their users. Once the new duties are in effect, following Ofcom’s publication of final codes and guidance, platforms will have to show they have processes in place to meet the requirements set out by the Act. Ofcom will monitor how effective those processes are at protecting internet users from harm. Ofcom will have powers to take action against companies which do not follow their new duties.

    As @hippy says - is somewhere like LFGSS ever in actual risk of falling foul of not doing what is necessary to discourage/remove the content covered by the bill? That said, I recognise that this legislation is worryingly broad - and I’m not the one exposed to the risks posed by it.
