The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure future online safety regulation does not have unintended consequences for the online gaming industry.
Answered by Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
Proportionality is a core principle of the Online Safety Act and is in-built into its duties. Ofcom must consider the size and risk level of different types of services when recommending steps providers can take to comply with their duties.
Ofcom has communicated with in-scope services about Act regulations, including working with them to ensure compliance is as easy as possible. Ofcom is providing support resources and tools to online services to make it easier for them to understand – and comply with – their responsibilities under the Act.
