The Independent emphasizes its commitment to providing quality journalism on critical issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The article highlights the need for robust on-ground reporting during pivotal moments in U.S. history. It discusses the Online Safety Act and the statements from Ofcom's head, Dame Melanie Dawes, who argued that the law will protect children by mandating the removal of illegal content from online platforms while restricting harmful materials. Dawes advocates for a tailored online experience for under-18s, devoid of explicit and detrimental content.
