The UK’s Online Safety Bill received royal assent today and became law. The bill aims to address underage access to online pornography, “anonymous trolls,” scam ads, the nonconsensual sharing of intimate deepfakes, and the spread of child sexual abuse material and terrorism-related content. Non-compliance could land companies with fines of up to £18 million and their bosses could even face prison.
