Minister says that we are looking forward to online security rules

A cabinet minister said that the government is considering further action to keep children online and “sit back and wait on the issue”.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander told the BBC New Edge-Preference Rules that starting at the end of this month would have a “really significant” impact.

He said that the rules, media regulator’s rules will not be “ending the dialogue” on online security.

TOCCOM Boss Melani Davas vowed to strictly apply new requirements, meaning to add the regulator “business”. ,

Under the new powers launched by the Online Security Act and the previous Tory was passed under the government, Tomcom will need to conduct strict age verification methods for internet companies to check whether a user is less than 18.

A new code of practice to apply from 25 July, will also require platforms to affect algorithm shown in children’s feed to filter harmful materials.

In the last election, Labor committed to “manufacture” the previous government law and considered more measures to protect children.

But this is yet to publish its own new law, the ministers have argued to debate the existing sets of the new rules.

Talking to Sunday with Laura Kunsberg, Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly killed her on 14 after watching harmful materials online, said that new rules should mark the “biggest moment in online security” since the arrival of social media.

But he said that “what is the proof of pudding,” he was added, he thought he could go beyond the legal powers that he has done within the legal powers.

He also argued that the regulator should be prepared for “push” against ministers more than “weaknesses” in the law.

Alexander said that new rules will be brought into “really strong security measures” to ensure appropriate age verification.

But he said: “We are very clear as a government that it is the foundation of a safe online experience for children, but it is not the end of the conversation”.

He said that Technology Secretary Peter Kyle was looking forward to further action in many areas, how to address “drug addiction habits” among children.

“We are not going to be a government that sits back and wait for it, we want to address it,” he said.

She did not give further details, but Kyle has earlier indicated that she wants to curb the “addictive nature” of apps and smartphones for children.

Proposals Under consideration Include a two -hour cap and a 22:00 curfew on the use of individual social media apps.

Alexander said that the Education Secretary was reviewing guidance in England that allows individual headtackers to ban smartphones in schools.

The government has so far stopped making laws for a nationwide ban, reduced a tori effort to do so in March.

The Transport Secretary said that “balance is correct” on the issue was important, given that some parents “want their children to have a phone on the way to school”.

Chhaya Minister Chris Filp said that he wants the previous Tory government to enact a law to ban smartphones in schools during its 14 years.

He said Kunsberg said it was a “great shame”, labor did not support the ban, saying: “As a father, I am really worried about it”.

The Chief Executive Officer of Tomcom told the program that the new rules would mean that take platforms would have to change their content algorithms “very important”.

Ms. Daves said that regulatory websites would give some flexibility, when it is decided which age-the-convenience tools to use, but promised that those who fail to conduct adequate investigation, they will “hear from with” enforcement action “.

However, he admitted that some new forms of AI could not be covered by the inherent powers in the current law.

He said, “There may be some change in the law to cover it,” he said.
