Online Safety Act 2023 (United Kingdom) and Ofcom illegal-harms duties

tlte-cite:uk-online-safety-2023

Editorial gloss

UK statutory regime imposing duties on user-to-user services to mitigate illegal-harms content — including incitement to racial/religious hatred (Public Order Act 1986 Part 3 schedule). Cited as the live UK extraterritorial-reach anchor for Tamil-targeted incitement originating in Sri Lanka but consumed by UK Tamil diaspora — the basis of the MP Pack #8 PQs on Ofcom illegal-harms scoping.
