A WATCHDOG demand for tech giants to crackdown on harmful online content aimed at kids has been backed by campaigners.
Ofcom’s new guidelines call for restrictions on web content which can expose children to violence and pornography.
The code of practice will set out more than 40 measures for tech companies including robust age-checks to manage the content youngster are accessing.
It comes after the Record launched its Our Kids... Our Future campaign following a series of horrific attacks on young people that were filmed and posted online.
We called on tech giants to take more responsibility for content on their platforms.
Abbie Jarvis was just 12 when other children filmed her being brutally assaulted in Glasgow in October 2021.
Disturbing footage of the attack was shared online and is still being circulated on Instagram today.
Abbie’s mum Angela, 44, is supporting Ofcom’s crackdown.
