Keeping children safe online is a priority for this government. That is why today I will be the first secretary of state to exercise the power to set out my strategic priorities.
From baking safety into social media sites from the outset, to increasing platform transparency, these priorities will allow us to monitor progress, collate evidence, innovate and act where laws are coming up short.
Under the OSA, Ofcom will have to report back to the secretary of state on what actions it has taken against these priorities to ensure the laws are delivering safer spaces online.
The obligations placed on digital platforms by the OSA mean they must prevent children from accessing harmful or age-inappropriate content, enforce age limits and conduct risk assessments.
