	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>The Online Harms White Paper consultation proposes that the duty of care applies to companies that provide services or tools that allow, enable or facilitate users to share or discover user-generated content, or interact with each other online. It, therefore, would not typically apply to consumer smart devices. Harms suffered by individuals that result directly from a breach of data protection, breach of cyber-security or hacking are also excluded from scope.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government has taken a number of actions to increase the security of consumer smart devices. In October 2018, DCMS published the Code of Practice for Consumer Internet of Things (IoT) Security to support manufacturers in building strong security into smart products by design. We recognise that further action is needed, and we will soon be publishing a consultation on our regulatory proposals regarding consumer IoT security.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James grouped question UIN 242826 question first answered 23/04/2019 11:10:26 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

Focussing on the services provided by companies, rather than their business model, sector or size, limits the risk that online harms simply move and proliferate outside of the ambit of the new regulatory framework.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 16/04/2019 14:58:35 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
