Ofcom has announced new online safety rules aimed at keeping young people safe online. The regulator, which now also oversees online safety, has published more than 40 measures that tech firms and online platforms (aimed at kids) must follow. Failure to do this could see the firms/ platforms face a fine of up to £18 million – or ten per cent of their qualifying worldwide revenue.
Ofcom is investigating a suicide forum provider for potential violations of the Online Safety Act, marking the first inquiry into an individual service provider under the new legislation.
