The UK is debating vast new regulations around online safety.
The legislation would make social media companies and search engines more responsible for the content on their platforms.
Ofcom, the UK’s regulatory agency, says it is “prioritising action on illegal content.”
The United Kingdom is expected to implement some of the most advanced online safety regulations through a sprawling piece of legislation that is poised to upend internet liability rules.

The Online Safety Bill—which was first introduced in parliament in March 2022 and is still under debate—is aimed at protecting internet users, particularly children, from illegal and harmful content. This includes child sexual abuse, hate crimes, fraud, incitements of violence and terrorism, among other harms.
