The first draft of the Online Safety Bill was published in May 2021, and its proposals are set to have a big impact on internet service providers. Our series assesses specific areas, angles and applications of the Bill and its detail and significance as the regulatory framework for online businesses continues to evolve rapidly.

We explore different services and content within the scope of the Bill, aspects that are expected to be lobbied, areas of uncertainty for online platforms, its application to online audio-visual services, and how small and medium-sized platforms should prepare as it passes into law.
