- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, for what reason the fraudulent advertising duty in the Online Safety Bill is not being applied to Category 2(b) firms; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
We introduced the Online Safety Bill to Parliament on 17 March. We have designed the Online Safety Bill to be proportionate and risk-based.
The Bill will ensure that people using the largest platforms and where there is greatest risk of harm are protected from scams, and ensure these services do not profit from illegal activity.
The Online Advertising Programme will build on this duty and examine the whole ecosystem to provide a holistic review of the regulatory framework.
