The internet watchdog, Ofcom, has launched a new enforcement program under the U.K.'s Online Safety Act (OSA) focused on online storage and file-sharing services.
File-sharing and file-storage services are deemed particularly susceptible to being used for the sharing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Ofcom has written to several of these services, requesting information on the safety measures they have implemented or plan to implement to tackle CSAM.
Failure to comply with the OSA could result in penalties of up to 10% of global annual turnover.
