The Panopticon Podcast is delighted to present this bonus episode on online safety, featuring special guest Jon Higham, Online Safety Policy Director at Ofcom (now the online safety regulator).
When the Online Safety Act 2023 was enacted last year (see Episode 1), much of the practical detail of implementation remained unclear – both because various pieces of secondary legislation and guidance remained to be finalised, and because it was an entirely novel regulatory regime with a gargantuan scope.
In this wide-ranging interview, Jon Higham and Anya Proops KC explore the challenges and complex balancing exercises which are now being grappled with, and shed light on how we can expect Ofcom to enforce the new regime in practice.
It is essential listening for anyone interested in the regulation of online safety.
