flag UK regulator Ofcom demands major social media platforms submit risk assessments on illegal content by March 31.

flag UK regulator Ofcom has set a March 31 deadline for major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to submit risk assessments on illegal content. flag This follows the Online Safety Act, which requires platforms to address issues like terrorism, hate crimes, and child exploitation. flag Non-compliance could lead to fines of up to 10% of a company's turnover or £18 million, and sites can be blocked in the UK. flag Ofcom will use the assessments to identify safety gaps and drive improvements, though some critics argue the new rules could create a narrow "checklist" approach to safety.
