UK's Online Safety Act has made 'absolutely no difference,' kids say

UK Children's Commissioner tells Lords committee the Online Safety Act has 'made absolutely no difference' and criticizes Ofcom over risk assessment transparency.

England's Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza testified that more than a year after key Online Safety Act child-protection duties took effect, children report no meaningful change in accessing harmful content. She criticized Ofcom for refusing to share companies' safety risk assessments under section 393(1) of the Communications Act 2003, and planned to use statutory powers to compel disclosure. She argued the OSA has not kept pace with AI-driven harms (citing the 'Grok nudifying' controversy) and urged Ofcom to 'use its teeth,' contrasting the UK's approach with Meta's proposed $18 billion US child-safety settlement.

UK cyber bill targets AI users, not the vendors building it

UK ministers rejected Lords amendments that would have brought AI vendors into the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill's scope.

Cybersecurity minister Baroness Lloyd of Effra told the Grand Committee that regulating frontier AI developers through the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill would not prevent misuse by hostile actors, pointing instead to the AI Security Institute and the voluntary AI Cyber Security Code of Practice, which informed the ETSI EN 304 223 standard. Rejected amendments included requirements for AI vendors to demonstrate red lines such as evading human oversight, and last-resort powers to shut down a datacenter or widely deployed AI system during emergencies. The bill instead extends the NIS 2018 regime to managed service providers, datacenter operators and designated critical suppliers, imposing duties on regulated organizations rather than technology providers.
