Unpacking the Online Safety Bill

Digital panel discussion with GC team of experts about the government's newly introduced Online Safety Bill into parliament. They discussed:

• New processes for determining what ‘legal but harmful’ content must be removed;
• A requirement for companies to offer user verification (and ways for users to control who can interact with them online);
• Extra priority illegal offences including hate crime, revenge porn, and promotion of suicide;
• A duty to prevent online fraud in paid-for advertising;
• A crackdown with criminal liability on executives at companies if they fail to comply with new rules.
