Motion G2 offers another approach, by filling the urgent gaps identified by dozens of online safety organisations. It amends the OSA to include an overarching duty of care. It removes safe harbour, if a risk has already been identified by Ofcom or by the company itself. It is ludicrous that a company can be deemed safe even when the regulator or the company have already identified a danger. It takes a more precise approach to which services are in scope, and it includes a requirement to consider childhood development stages, because while public focus tends to be on tweens and early teens, researchers are increasingly concerned about very young children and older teens who need our attention too.
