Ofcom discovers issuing Online Safety Act fines is easier than collecting them

Ofcom says most Online Safety Act fines totaling over £7 million remain unpaid as platforms structure businesses to evade collection.

Ofcom director of enforcement Suzanne Cater told the House of Lords that the majority of fines issued under the UK Online Safety Act remain uncollected despite over £7 million in penalties on 11 providers. The regulator's largest fine was £1.4 million against 8579 LLC in February. Ofcom is running six enforcement programs and 40 formal investigations covering more than 100 services, including Telegram, TikTok and X, and is working with the UK government to strengthen its enforcement powers.

Snap tries to make the case again for its $2,200 smart glasses

Snap unveiled new features for its $2,200 Specs smart glasses, including an anticipatory AI system and enterprise partnerships with Amazon, Salesforce, and Nvidia.

At a Los Angeles event, Snap showcased updates for its Specs smart glasses, which launched earlier in 2026 at $2,200 to a mixed reception. The headline announcement was Specs Intelligence, an "anticipatory AI" system that builds an understanding of user goals and routines and works with iPhones and Macs independently of the glasses. Snap also launched Specs for Enterprise with partnerships including Amazon, Salesforce, and Nvidia, an NBA/WNBA AR training app, and a Verizon cellular connectivity package costing $10/month for Verizon customers and $20/month otherwise. The devices will ship later this fall after an October pop-up in Los Angeles.

Snap is launching a new Specs AI tool, and it’s coming to iOS and Mac

Snap launches Specs Intelligence, an anticipatory AI assistant on iOS in preview with Mac early access, alongside its Specs AR glasses.

Snap introduced Specs Intelligence, an AI assistant that connects accounts like Gmail and Slack to proactively surface tasks such as meeting prep and travel planning. It is available on iOS in preview today, with a waitlisted Mac early-access experience, launching alongside Snap's first consumer AR glasses, Specs. Snap says it runs a proprietary mix of open-source models hosted in the US alongside local LLMs, and claims connected personal content will not train its models or serve personalized ads. The company must still win user trust given the assistant's broad access to personal data.
