UK gets faster path to child online-safety rule changes

This gives the UK Government a shorter path to update online safety rules, instead of going back through full primary legislation. For streaming and adjacent digital platforms, the key point is not a specific rule change yet, but the reduced procedural barrier to new requirements, especially around children’s safety. That makes the Online Safety Act a more flexible regulatory tool. Watch for the next secondary legislation proposals under the OSA, especially any draft measures focused on children, because those will show how quickly the new powers get used.
