Ofcom enforcement drives significant improvements in tackling child sexual abuse imagery
Action against service providers which fail to engage – including £20,000 fine against 4chan
Sites that have restricted UK users’ access remain on Ofcom’s watchlist
Ofcom has today provided an update on our enforcement activity under the Online Safety Act.

Since March 2025, when the first of our online safety Codes became enforceable, we have launched five enforcement programmes and opened 21 investigations into the providers of 69 sites and apps.

Today, we are issuing updates on 11 of those investigations.

The spread of this material causes devastating harm to victims and remains one of the gravest online safety challenges.
