“I issued a Schedule 5 notice to Ofcom to exercise its power under Section 101 of the Online Safety Act 2023 to obtain evidence from Google relating to Leo’s online activity before his death. No material was provided by Google under this procedure. I understand that Google’s position is that the service provider holding such data (Google LLC) is not within the jurisdiction of England and Wales but is within the US jurisdiction and subject to the laws of the USA which prohibit compliance with my Schedule 5 notice under the Section 101 process”.
