This includes content that promotes terrorism or suicide, revenge pornography, and child sexual abuse material. Harmful and adult content is also covered by the bill.Also part of the Online Harms Bill:A requirement for age verification on all websites that host pornographyA measure to combat anonymous trolling, or abuse and unwanted contact on social mediaThe criminalization of so-called cyber-flashingRequirement for companies to report CSAM content to the U.K.’s National Crime AgencyThe right given to users to appeal to platforms if they think their posts have been taken down unfairlyNews content and journalism will be exempt from the regulation, DCMS said.Companies will be required to show how they pro-actively tackle such content spreading. Ofcom will be given the power to enter offices and inspect data and equipment to gather evidence, and it’ll be a criminal offence to obstruct an investigator, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said in a statement.In addition to senior executives being made liable for how their companies comply with the law, businesses could face fines of as much as 10% of their annual global revenue for breaching regulations.“The U.K. government is certainly hoping that the online safety bill will set a global standard,” said Linklaters partner Ben Packer in a statement. “As many platforms will want to maintain a broadly consistent user experience globally, that may end up being in the case.”After being presented to lawmakers, it’s likely the bill will spend several months of further revisions and votes before gaining royal assent, after which it will become law.Big Tech businesses like Facebook-owner Meta Platforms Inc. are already required to take down illegal content after it has been reported to them. But governments want them to act more quickly.The government is giving Ofcom the responsibility to scrutinize and challenge algorithms and systems inside big technology companies that can propagate harm online -- rather than asking officials to chase and litigate on individual bad pieces of content.The biggest platforms and their apps will be classed as “Category One” and also have to clamp down on legal-but-harmful content, the specifics of which will be added by lawmakers later.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9035314018,"gmtCreate":1647511121602,"gmtModify":1676534238953,"author":{"id":"4098783902581330","authorId":"4098783902581330","name":"ZenInv","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/033bd47e3df1977aaef462f53997e9f1","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"I wonder how the enforcement actions would be like.
