I was pleased to see Ofcom set out, in September last year, its targeted approach to tackling small but risky services. This included a dedicated supervision task force and a commitment to move to rapid enforcement action where necessary. The task force’s purpose is to respond effectively, promptly and proportionately to new or growing harms and risks, focusing on the most credible and high-severity issues, where it can have the greatest impact. I am confident that the regulatory framework, alongside this bespoke task force, will work to keep all UK citizens safe online. Of course, the Government will not hesitate to act where needed to keep people safe.
