UK's Ofcom Targets File-Sharing Services to Combat CSAM
The UK's internet regulator, Ofcom, has initiated an enforcement program under the Online Safety Act to address illegal content on storage and file-sharing services. This comes after evidence indicated these platforms are prone to misuse for sharing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Ofcom has contacted several services, warning them of upcoming formal requests for information regarding their safety measures. Non-compliance could lead to penalties of up to 10% of global annual turnover. The initiative aims to enhance online safety and hold companies accountable for content management.
