Online Safety Act 2023

Legislate to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online, protecting children from online abuse.

The bill's long title states it makes 'provision for and in connection with the regulation by OFCOM of certain internet services' and addresses 'communications offences'. This directly relates to online safety regulation, which addresses the promise's goal of 'make the UK the safest place in the world to be online'. The bill has received Royal Assent, meaning online safety legislation has been enacted, fulfilling the metric 'Online safety legislation enacted'. However, the bill text provided does not explicitly mention 'protecting children from online abuse' - a key component of the promise. While the regulation of internet services and communications offences could encompass child protection, without specific mention in the text provided, I cannot confirm the bill fully addresses this aspect. Therefore, the bill partially fulfils the promise by enacting online safety legislation, but the text provided is insufficient to verify it specifically addresses child protection.
