An Ofcom spokesperson said: “So far, Ofcom has driven some of the strongest changes of any online safety regulation in the world, from widespread age checks to grooming protections for children. But the industry needs to go much further to make people safe. The Government has entrusted us to build on this progress with new measures to protect children, and we're ready to work closely with them as the detailed regulations take shape.”
Ofcom has also today responded to correspondence from the Secretary of State which sets out priorities for action regarding implementation of the new measures. The reply from Ofcom’s Chief Executive, Dame Melanie Dawes, is available here.
