Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2026

Debate

Social Media: Substances Unfit for Human Consumption

Contribution

My noble friend raises an important and serious point. Fraud is illegal and a priority offence under the Online Safety Act, and platforms are required to act where services are used for scams or misleading advertisements. It is in Ofcom’s hands to ensure compliance with the Act and the duties under it, and we have made it very clear to Ofcom that we support it taking that kind of enforcement action.
