Ofcom's head of online safety, John Higham, highlighted that a significant number of children claim to be older online, stating, 'It doesn't take a genius to work out that children are going to lie about their age... There's a big issue there.' This underscores the challenges faced by social media platforms in enforcing age restrictions.
The new set of rules from Ofcom is set to impose strict penalties, including fines up to 10% of a company's global turnover and possible jail time for executives, indicating the serious approach being taken to protect children from online harms.
