Ofcom has today fined video sharing platform, MintStars Ltd, £7,000 for failing to adequately protect children from accessing online pornography.
Under existing laws which pre-date the Online Safety Act, UK-established video-sharing platforms (VSPs) are required to have measures in place to protect under-18s from videos containing restricted material, including pornography.
The teenager sentenced to six years in prison for crimes including encouraging suicide and possessing terrorist materials and indecent images of children was part of an international online network promoting neo-Nazi and satanist beliefs, who film and share acts of extreme violence.

After demanding the release of Tommy Robinson from prison, the Tesla billionaire has posted a series of messages accusing Sir Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute gangs that systematically groomed and raped young girls, and calling for safeguarding minister Jess Phillips to be jailed.
He also suggested safeguarding minister Jess Phillips “deserves to be in prison” after she rejected a request for the Home Office to order a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham.
The decision was criticised by several senior Tories, despite the previous Conservative government turning down a similar request in 2022.

The social media platform Telegram uses an algorithm that promotes extremist content, a new study shared exclusively with the BBC has revealed.
“I get a lot of hate”. The words of content creator Winta Zesu, who last year made $150,000 (£117,000) from posting on social media.
What separates Winta from other influencers? The people commenting on her posts and driving traffic to her videos are often doing so out of anger.
“Every single video of mine that has gained millions of views is because of hate comments,” the 24-year-old explains.
