Reuters reported that Britain's communications regulator said tech companies must focus on protecting children from abuse, grooming and pro-suicide content, in its first steps as the enforcer of online safety.
Ofcom, which gained new powers when the Online Safety Act came into law last month, said children were a key priority.
It said its role would be to force firms, such as Facebook and Instagram owner Meta (META.O), to tackle the causes of online harm by making their services safer.
