Campaign victory: The Online Safety Act

The Online Safety Bill has received Royal Assent and has now become law. This is a remarkable achievement for our campaign. 


This new law will require major online platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Google, to remove harmful content, including scams and fraud, among others, from their platforms.


If they don’t comply, they could see fines up to £18m or 10% of their global annual revenue, whichever is biggest.

Continuing to make online life safer

We've had some big wins in our fight to tackle online scams and fake reviews, so we’re focusing our efforts on preventing the sale of dangerous goods online.


Online shopping is more popular than ever, but UK law has failed to keep pace. The result? Tech giants are flooding UK households with thousands of unsafe products - and they’re getting away with it. 


As some of the biggest businesses in the world, we know online marketplaces can and should be doing more to prevent the sale of dangerous products. That’s why we’re campaigning for the Government to crack down on businesses that break the rules. 


Tech giants must do the right thing and protect us from dangerous products on their sites.


Sign the petition to make tech giants protect us online.
