Watch: New ofcom Rules “Foundation” for the safer internet but “not the end of speech,” says Heidi Alexander

A cabinet Minister said that the government has taken more actions to keep the children safe online and that they would “lean back on you”.

Transportation Secretary Heidi Alexander said that the rules of the BBC, which started at the end of this month, will have a “really important” effect.

He said that the regulations to be audited by the media regulator Ofcom would not be the “end of the conversation” on online security.

Ofcom boss Melanie Dawes meticulously implemented new requirements and added that the organizer means “job”. However, he acknowledged that Ofcom may need more legal authority to keep up with the rapidly developing effect of artificial intelligence (AI).

In accordance with the new forces introduced by the online security law and under the previous Toray government, Ofcom will require more strict age verification methods to check whether a user is under 18 years of age.

A new application code to be applied as of July 25 will also require to change the algorithms that affect what is shown in child feeds to filter the harmful content of platforms.

In the last election, the Labor Party decided to “improve” the law of the previous government and thought of taking more measures to keep children safe.

However, they have not yet published their own new legislation, and argue that ministers should first be presented to the first set of new regulations.

Speaking with Laura Kuensberg on Sunday, Ian Russell, his daughter Molly took his own life after seeing harmful content online, and he said that the new rules should mark the “the biggest moment in online safety” since the arrival of social media.

However, he added, “What is the evidence of Pudding,” he added, he added that he could go further than he has the legal forces he has acquired.

He also argued that the regulator should be ready to “push back” against ministers through “weaknesses” in the legislation.

‘Addictive habits’

Alexander said it would bring “really solid guards” to ensure that new rules confirm the appropriate age.

But he added: “As a government, we are very clear that this is the basis of a safer online experience for children, but this is not the end of the conversation.”

Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said that he took more actions among children in various fields, including how to handle “addiction habits”.

“We will not be a government sitting and waiting for it, we want to deal with it.”

He did not give any more details, but Kyle said he had previously wanted to prevent applications and smartphones for children’s “addictive nature”.

Phone ban calls

Alexander added that the educational secretary examined the guidance that allows individual managers in the UK to ban smart phones in schools.

So far, the government has stopped legislating for a country -wide ban and voted for the Toray attempt in March.

Transport secretary, some parents “children want to get a phone on the way to school,” said, “the right to do the right” is important, he added.

Shadow Minister Chris Philp said that the previous Torah government wished to legislated to prohibit smart phones in schools during his 14 -year power.

Kuensberg told Kuensberg that his workmanship did not support a ban: “As a father, I’m really worried about it.”

Ofcom’s general manager said that the program will have to change the content algorithms of new rules of technology platforms “very significantly”.

Ms. Dawes, the regulator, while deciding which age verification tools will give a little flexibility to the websites, but those who can not fulfill enough controls “will hear from us with execution action,” he said.

However, he acknowledged that some new forms of AI in the current legislation may be “met”.

“To meet this, there may be some changes in the legislation.”
