The Online Safety Act 2023, now being put in place by Ofcom, brings new rules to make the internet safer. These rules help protect everyone, especially children, from harmful content.
Key protections
- Remove illegal content quickly and stop it from appearing again
- Check ages and block harmful or unsuitable material
- Give adults more control over what they see online with filtering tools
- Make reporting easier so users can report harmful content and get help
These steps aim to make the internet a safer place for everyone.
