Looks like America is also losing patience
with user generated sites not protecting users. The owners of websites are openly being laughed at with the refusal to answer questions and the nonsense that they are coming out with.

All vulnerable people should be protected, but children especially so. This is why
Ofcom are Prioritising the online Safety Act to deal with this first, but complaints can still be made about other issues.
Wow, just seen a report on this on the BBC 10pm news. A warning was made to someone that what they were looking for may contain child abuse content. It then offered tools to block such content or, unbelievably, a choice to view the content!!!

There were a number of parents there who had sadly lost children as a result of online bullying. One remarked that the taps were
overflowing and they were being given a mop to deal with it.
