One response to “How UK Tech Policy is drawn: popular but misinformed concerns in 2013 become manifesto commitments in 2015, badly drafted legislation by 2017, infeasibly un-enacted in 2018, & hankered-for by reactionaries in 2020”

   I shall avoid repeating what I have said already on this issue. The focus in the Bill will put the responsibility on the platforms to have strong safety measures to protect children from accessing pornographic and other inappropriate content. If they do not do that, parents and children can report them and Ofcom will take enforcement action.

   Hard to shake the sense that maybe the Government don’t want to dilute their child-protection whiphand over the platforms.
