Online Safety Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 September 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Online Safety Bill.

It has to meet minimum standards of accuracy and must have privacy safeguards in place. The clause talks about those in a positive sense, which sets out the expectation. I am happy to make clear, as I have, what that means: if the appropriate technology does not exist that meets these requirements, then Ofcom will not be able to use Clause 122 to require its use. I hope that that satisfies my noble friend.
