The consultation focuses on their proposals for how internet services that enable the sharing of user-generated content (‘user-to-user services’) and search services should approach their new duties relating to content that is harmful to children.
It covers:
- how to assess if services are likely to be accessed by children;
- the causes and impacts of harms to children;
- how services should assess and mitigate the risks of harms to children.
