- We have age ratings for films to protect children from violence and other harmful content. Why not do the same with social media websites? Our policy would keep the internet open and keep children safe from Elon’s Chainsaw Massacre.
- Our model would echo the film and video classification system established in the 1980s, adapting a trusted framework for the digital age. The new ratings would be enforced by Ofcom, which would be handed powers to fast-track fines and business disruption orders on platforms that don’t comply.
- Our message to social media giants is clear: if your platform spreads harmful content or relies on addictive and harmful algorithms, you should not be allowed anywhere near our children. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
