28: Schedule 1, page 185, line 23, at end insert—
“Public information services
5A A user-to-user service is exempt if its primary purpose is the creation of public information resources and it has the following characteristics—
(a) user-to-user functions are limited to those necessary for the creation and maintenance of a public information resource,
(b) OFCOM has determined that there is minimal risk of users sharing harmful content on the service, and
(c) it is non-commercial.”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment would allow OFCOM to exempt services like Wikipedia from regulation where it deems them to be low risk.
