Britain sets first codes of practice for tech firms in online safety regime
LONDON - Britain's online safety regime came into force on Monday, requiring social media companies like Meta's Facebook and ByteDance's TikTok to take action to tackle criminal activity on their platforms and make them safer by design.
Sites and apps have until March 16, 2025, to assess the risks illegal content poses to children and adults on their platforms, Ofcom said. The Online Safety Act, which became law last year, sets tougher standards for platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, with an emphasis on child protection and the removal of illegal content.
The regulator will be able to issue fines of up to 18 million pounds or 10% of a company's annual global turnover if they fail to comply.
