Online Safety

Online Safety is a new concept in this policy space. 

The Online Safety Act, adopted in October 2023,  has the potential to re-shape the digital landscape in the UK. It upends the law as it was taking a framework based on liability protection and installing in its place a regime of strict liability backed up by civil and criminal sanctions. Posts in this section will discuss the progress of its implementation, and the implications of online safety as a policy concept more widely.
