Policy / Child safety · Governance & regulation
The government released draft legislation for consultation, describing coverage of harmful content and features on services including chatbots, games and messaging platforms.
Why it matters
The proposal encourages attention to risks created by a service’s design and features, as well as individual pieces of content.
Read with care
An exposure draft is not an enacted duty. The announcement and consultation page establish the proposal; they do not demonstrate that a particular mitigation works.
What was checked
Dated ministerial announcement and official exposure-draft page checked.
