Ofcom, the UK's internet safety regulator, has set a deadline for online platforms to assess risks of users encountering illegal content, warning of severe fines.
Dame Melanie Dawes emphasized that this is the 'last chance' for the industry, urging companies to proactively adjust their operations or face strict enforcement actions.
Critics of the Online Safety Act argue that the legislation does not adequately address significant threats to children, particularly in dealing with suicide and self-harm content.
The OSA mandates that platforms identify and mitigate potential illegal content, including child sexual abuse material and extreme violence, ensuring user safety.
