v2023
7 domains
30 controls

The UK Online Safety Act 2023 establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for online safety, placing duties on user-to-user services and search services to protect users from illegal content and, for larger platforms, content harmful to children. Ofcom is the regulator. Category 1 services (largest platforms with highest risk) face additional duties regarding content harmful to adults, user empowerment, and transparency. The Act covers illegal content duties, child safety duties, fraudulent advertising, and platform transparency. Significant penalties including up to 10% of global revenue.
