New rules have been enforced by regulator Ofcom with the aim to better protect children online.
The rules require online platforms to have age checks in place if they host pornography or other harmful content such as self-harm, suicide or eating disorders.
Peter Kyle, the UK’s Technology Secretary, said a generation of children will not be allowed to grow up “at the mercy of toxic algorithms”.
Tech & Science Daily join Matthew Sowemimo, Associate Head of Policy for Child Safety Online at NSPCC, and Andy Burrows, CEO of the Molly Rose Foundation.
