<p>The Secretary of State is considering in detail the advice that Ofcom has provided.
The Secretary of State will make regulations as soon as reasonably practicable, in
line with Schedule 11 of the Act.</p><p>More broadly, all user-to-user services in
scope of the Online Safety Act – including online forums of any size – will be required
to comply with the illegal safety duties and take steps to remove illegal content.
The strongest protections in the Act are for children and where these services are
likely to be accessed by children, they must also protect children from a wider range
of harmful content. Targeted duties on search services, to minimise illegal search
results, will also reduce traffic to websites, including online forums, that host
illegal material.</p>
