The final version of the rules that the organizer of children in the UK says “new transformational protection” online.
The sites will have to change the algorithms that recommend the content of young people and the enhanced age of ages by July 25 or face large fines.
Platforms that host pornography, or providing content that encourages self -harm, suicide, or eating disorders among those that must take more powerful measures to prevent children from reaching their content.
The President of the Offes, Mrs. Melanie Daweis, said that it was “Gamechanger”, but critics say that the restrictions do not go far enough and it was a “bitter pill to swallow.”
“He felt dismay because of the lack of ambition” in the symbols.
But Dam Melanie told BBC Radio 4 today that age tests were a first step like “unless you know the place of children, you cannot give them a different experience for adults.
“There is nothing on the Internet or in real life and is evidence of the fool … [but] This represents Gamechanger. “
She admitted that while “under any delusions” was that some companies “simply do not get or not want them,” the symbols were the UK law.
“If they want to serve the British public and if they want the privilege in particular in providing their services to less than 18 years, they will need to change the way these services work.”
Professor Victoria Benz, a former Facebook safety officer, told the BBC.
Speaking to today’s program, she said: “The major technology companies really get control, so they put the money behind it, and most importantly, it puts people behind it.”
Under symbols, algorithms should also be formed to filter harmful content from children’s summaries and recommendations.
In addition to age tests, there will also be simplified reports and complaint systems, and the platforms will be asked to take faster action in evaluating and processing harmful content when perceived if it is.
All platforms must also be “a specific person responsible for children’s safety”, and the risk management of children should be reviewed annually by a senior body.
If companies fail to adhere to the regulations they set for them by July 24, OFCON said they “have the power to impose fines – in very serious cases – apply for a court order to prevent the site or application in the United Kingdom.”
The new rules are subject to parliamentary approval under the online safety law.
