According to the Secretary of Technology, parents and children can first expect to experience a separate internet “according to new safety measures.
Peter Kyle He said that he had “high expectations” for changes, as as the head of the regulator in charge of enforcement against social media platforms, who do not urge the public, “We do justice to us from safe effects”.
While some campaigners have welcomed the new security – which involves the age test to prevent pornography and other harmful materials to prevent children – others branded them “pasted plaster”.
Donation And other organizations working in the field of safety of children have agreed that the key will ensure that measures have been applied, urging for “showing its teeth”.
Changes also require platforms to ensure that the algorithm does not work to harm children, for example, pushing such materials on the choice of self -loss and food disorders.
Action Those who can be taken against firms that fail to follow the new codes include a fine of £ 18 million worldwide or up to 10% of qualifying, whichever is more, and the court order blocks the potentially blocked access to the UK.
Mr. Kyle has said that a generation of children would not be allowed to grow “on the mercy of the toxic algorithms” because they pledged Government If they fail to work in accordance with changes, a safe, healthy, more human online is laying the foundation for the world and technical firms will be “held”.
He told Sky News: “I have high expectations of change that children will experience.
“And I just let the parents and children say this, you will actually experience a different internet, moving ahead of the past for the first time, moving ahead of the past. And this is a big step.”
As part of the online security act and for measures to apply by the regulator of the regulator, an online platform is required, which is examined-using the face of the age of the face or a credit card check-then they host pornography or other harmful materials such as self-loss, suicide or food disorders.
Offcom Chief Executive Officer Dame Melani Daves said that the research by the regulator has shown that half a million eight to 14 years of children have come in online pornography in the last month.
When it was kept for him by the BBC that the test of new measures of his staff was able to sign up on a famous porn site on Friday, he said that the sites “check the pattern of email use behind the curtain to verify users”.
He told the Radio 4’s Today program: “We have shown that we have got teeth and we are ready to use them in com. And we have acquired commitments in the porn industry and the choice of X, which no other country has secured. These things can work.
“Judges we judge the effect we secure.
He also said that the government is right to consider the limit on the amount of time spent on social media apps.
Earlier this week, Mr. Kyle said that he wanted to deal with “binding behavior” and the ministers are allegedly considering a two -hour limit, in which curfews are also subject to discussion.
Dame Melani told LBC, “I think the government is right to open this question. I think we are all a little accustomed to our phones, adults and children, obviously there is a matter of concern for young people, especially young people. So, I think it’s a good thing to move forward.”
Children’s charity NSPCC and Bernardo are among those who have welcomed the new check from Friday, as well as the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).
The IWF warned that “safety measures need to be strong and meaningful” and said “still to be exceeded”, as they urged technical platforms to urge them to build safety measures as “later”.
Molly Rose Rose Foundation-Shake was founded by Sent, Ian Russell, when his 14-year-old daughter Molly took her life to see harmful materials on social media-said that in measures, there is “lack of ambition and accountability” in measures, and on the regulator “on the regulator” on the safety of children to prioritize business needs on safety of children.
Foundation CEO Andy Baroz told Sky News: “We have always conducted a very simple test for the online security act, will it prevent youths like Molly from dying due to the harmful design of social media platforms?
“And regret, we do not think it passes the test. It is a sticky plaster, not a comprehensive solution that we really need.”
Offcom said that it has also launched a monitoring and impact program focused on some platforms, where children spend the most time including social media sites Facebook, Instagram and Tikok, Gaming Site Roblox and video clip website Youtube.
The sites are among those who have been asked to submit by 7 August, reviewing their efforts to assess the risk and by September 30, to check the practical functions they are to protect children.
