Lords Committee to hold oral evidence session into Ofcom's OSA amendments
15/09/2025 | UK Parliament
On Tuesday, the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee will hold an oral evidence session to investigate Ofcom's proposed new measures to protect children online. The session will hear from online safety campaigners as part of the committee's work scrutinising the Online Safety Act 2023 (OSA).
Discussions are expected to focus on the effectiveness of Ofcom's new protections and how the regulator can keep pace with emerging harms. The committee will also explore how to balance privacy concerns with the use of age assurance technologies, whether new protections for livestreams are adequate, and the effectiveness of measures like hash matching to combat child sexual abuse offences.
