Ofcom stated in its release, "As an evidence-based regulator, every response has been carefully considered, alongside cutting-edge research and analysis, and we have strengthened some areas of the codes since our initial consultation." This highlights the thorough approach Ofcom is taking to ensure online safety.
The new guidelines indicate that online services must take steps like nominating a senior person accountable for complying with duties for illegal content, complaints, and reporting.
Ofcom introduced new measures tackling areas such as fraud, moderation, and child sexual abuse material (CSAM), emphasizing that moderation teams must be 'appropriately' trained to address illegal content swiftly.
Ofcom aims to improve safety online with measures that include hiding children's profiles, restricting random messages to children, and employing technological solutions like hash-matching and URL detection for CSAM.
