Internet: Advertising
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, for what reason the fraudulent advertising duty imposed on search engine firms in the Online Safety Bill is less stringent than that imposed on Category 1 firms; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
We introduced the Online Safety Bill to Parliament on 17 March.
The duties on search engines reflect that they facilitate harm in a different way to user to user services. The duties on search engines are therefore designed to be proportionate and risk-based.
We have also launched a consultation on proposals for wider reform of online advertising regulations, including in relation to fraud.
