Ms Niamh Hodnett:
The type of measures we are considering in our call for inputs on our draft online safety code will be aimed at the platform so there will be obligations on the platform, for example, to think about safety by design when it is designing and recommending a recommender system or algorithm and to consider whether there should be a safety impact assessment to consider the implications of a particular algorithm. This is all subject to consultation. The obligation will be on the platforms to ensure that they are addressing the amplification of harmful or toxic content.
