Insights Ofcom responds to Government announcement on online harms regulation

In response to the Government’s publication of its initial response to its consultation on the Online Harms White Paper, in which it said that it is “minded” to appoint Ofcom as regulator, Jonathan Oxley, Ofcom’s interim Chief Executive, said:

“We share the Government’s ambition to keep people safe online and welcome that it is minded to appoint Ofcom as the online harms regulator. We will work with the Government to help ensure that regulation provides effective protection for people online and, if appointed, will consider what voluntary steps can be taken in advance of legislation.” To read the response on Ofcom’s website, click here.
