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> answering member constituency Meriden answering member printed Saqib Bhatti grouped question UIN 25823 question first answered 21/05/2024 11:44:41 answering member 4818 label Biography information for Saqib Bhatti

While some content delivered through voice recognition devices may be regulated by Ofcom (such as live radio), voice recognition services themselves are not subject to broadcasting regulation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Under current legislation, online platforms, including those that use voice recognition software, must remove illegal content expeditiously once they are aware of its presence, or face civil or criminal liability.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The new online harms regulatory framework will apply to services which host user-generated content or enable user interaction, and to search engines, regardless of how the service is accessed. Therefore, some services that use voice recognition software may fall in scope.
