Ofcom, the UK's media regulator, has proposed a new code of practice under the Online Safety Act to enhance child protection online. The code mandates social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook to implement robust age verification processes, including photo ID checks, and introduces 40 other safety checks. Companies failing to comply could face fines amounting to billions of pounds. The proposed measures also require tech firms to modify their algorithms to prevent the recommendation of harmful content to children. Ofcom has published its draft Children's Safety Codes of Practice outlining these new standards.
