The draft Online Safety Bill, published in May 2021, will ensure companies design their platforms to be safer for users.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The strongest protections in the legislation are for children. Unless services in scope are able to prove that children are not accessing their service, they will need to conduct a child safety risk assessment and provide safety measures for child users, keeping these under regular review.. Companies will also need to assess how the design and operation of the service, including functionalities such as instream payments and live-streaming, may increase or reduce the risks identified.</p><p>In addition, the UK’s regulatory regime for video sharing platforms requires UK-established video sharing platforms to take appropriate measures to protect under-18s from harmful material, TikTok is in scope of these requirements. Ofcom is working with UK-established video sharing platforms to help them understand their duties under this regime and will be able to take enforcement action against platforms that do not comply.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/07/2021 11:03:53 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
