question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Online Safety Bill will address the widespread availability of (1) sexually violent, or (2) abusive pornography, online that would not be approved for sale on DVD.
tabling member printed	Baroness Merron
uin	HL435
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2022 answer text <p>The Online Safety Bill principally applies to services that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other, and to search engines. Where commercial pornography websites facilitate user-generated content, they will have to deliver the illegal content duties under the Bill and, where the service is likely to be accessed by children, to protect them from harmful content. These will ensure that all platforms in scope of the Bill tackle illegal user-generated content on their services, including extreme pornography and prohibited images of children.</p><p>Where the illegal content is not user-generated but rather is created and published by the relevant company on its own site, then that website service is likely to be committing an offence so will potentially be liable for prosecution. Part 5 of the Bill creates a new duty on providers of published pornography, which includes some dedicated commercial pornography websites, to protect children from accessing pornographic content.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay grouped question UIN HL434 question first answered 08/06/2022 13:45:07 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
