The government believes that, together with the above recommendation, Ofcom is best placed to consider this recommendation as online safety regulator. Under the OSA, regulated providers have enforceable duties to carry out risk assessments, which includes an assessment of the risk of relevant users encountering illegal or harmful-to-children content by means of the algorithms used by the service. Providers also have duties to take proportionate steps to reduce these risks, including steps that relate to their content recommender systems. Ofcom publishes the steps that providers can take to fulfil their duties and is well-placed to carry out research into providers’ content recommender systems. Ofcom is best placed to set out steps that different kinds of providers should take where evidence suggests their content recommender systems may increase risks. Ofcom has issued its codes of practice for illegal content duties and child protection duties, which include measures for recommender systems. Where providers fail to comply with their duties, Ofcom can and is empowered to undertake enforcement actions, including imposing fines on companies of up to £18 million or 10% of their qualifying worldwide revenue.
