Ofcom Could Regulate Social Media Platforms | Belfast News

from Belfast News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Introduced by a Liberal Democrat peer in the House of Lords, not the government, it would require UK-based platforms to get Ofcom licenses and comply with strict content rules. If passed, Ofcom could revoke licenses and even push for internet blocks. Still very early stages — this isn’t law or government policy. Stay informed, but stay calm.
