Sir Keir Starmer must intervene and strengthen incoming online safety rules after a record amount of child sexual abuse material was found on the internet in 2024, a leading online safety organisation has said.
The Internet Watch Foundation , which proactively searches for and helps remove child sexual abuse imagery from the internet, has written to the Prime Minister warning that without his input, platforms will have a "blatant get-out clause" to evade compliance with parts of the Online Safety Act, which is due to begin coming into force this year.
"However, we expect the vast majority of platforms will be able to take content down and we will hold them to account if they don't."There'll be measures all platforms will need to take to protect children, such as reviewing child sexual abuse material when they become aware of it and reporting it to law enforcement.
