Re: Online Safety Bill

This mornings Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme featured an interesting interview with Michael Grade, the chair of Ofcom.

He answers some questions raised previously by Cableforum members and gives an outline of how the Onlne Safety Act will operate. Thousands of jobs have been created by websites to ensure that the new requirements are met.

The discussion then switched to the subject of GB News and he stated that Ofcom has to get the balance right between freedom of speech & expression and complaints made. I'm assuming, therefore, that this same view will be applied to the Online Safety Act.

The interview starts at about 0:54 here:
