Head of International Online Safety at Ofcom, the UK's independent communications regulator. Here as an avid consumer of platform regulation insights.
Looking forward to delving into the draft DSA guidelines on protecting children online. A cursory review suggests high-level coherence with what @ofcom.bsky.social is asking of companies under the UK OSA. Positive for children and for regulated companies digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/c...

The Global Online Safety Regulators Network held its annual meeting last week, bringing together regulators from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. For Ofcom it's an honour to be elected chair of the Network again for 2025, working alongside newly-elected vice-chair Coimisiún na Meán. Ever forward.

Last Friday, Ofcom, DG CNECT, and the AU eSafety Commissioner came together to discuss regulatory coordination and coherence in our respective approaches to the online child protection.
A fantastic day of discussions on cutting-edge policy, and an important statement of internationalist intent.
