In Autumn 2020, the UK Government introduced new legislation giving Ofcom powers to regulate UK-based video-sharing platforms (VSPs).
From November 2020, VSPs which fall within our jurisdiction must comply with new rules around protecting children from potentially harmful content and all users from illegal content and incitement to hatred and violence.
Research from this panel will feed into a series of annual VSP monitoring reports.
In Spring 2021, the UK Government published its draft Online Safety Bill, granting Ofcom new responsibilities that will help to keep people safe when they are online.
The bill is due to be introduced to Parliament in 2022.
Ofcom invites Applicants to submit proposals for the market research service provision of an Online Research Panel.
