Ofcom to enforce crackdown on illegal content across UK social media
- Ofcom will enforce the Online Safety Act's illegal content codes, requiring social media companies to remove child sexual abuse material and other harmful content starting Monday.
- The Government claims the Act represents a major step forward, while critics argue that the measures are too weak to protect children from harmful content.
- Ian Russell, chairman of the Molly Rose Foundation, criticized Ofcom for its lack of ambition and called for urgent action from the Prime Minister.
- Chris Sherwood of NSPCC expressed hope for the changes but noted unacceptable loopholes that let tech platforms avoid responsibility for removing illegal content.
