| 11dUK regulator demands tech firms shield children from harmful content
The UK communications regulator, Ofcom, has announced that social media platforms will face fines of up to $22.5 million if they fail to take action to protect children from harmful content. A new online safety law in the UK requires platforms to implement measures to safeguard children including preventing algorithms from directing them towards harmful content and introducing age-checks. Ofcom has published a draft code of practice outlining 40 measures to improve online safety for children, with the regulations expected to come into force next year. Platforms that do not comply could face significant fines or even be banned from children's use.
