Online Safety Legislation
Online Safety Legislation
While social media platforms, ecommerce and interactive websites have brought enormous benefits to society, education, and economies, the increase in online harms has forced regulators in the US, EU and UK to urgently review existing laws governing online behavior. Social media platforms have been subject to allegations of political interference; public health risks created through disinformation; harm caused to children through inappropriate and graphic online content; and the spread of extremist material which risks public safety.
Governments in Europe, the UK and the USA are formulating new regulations which will determine where responsibilities lie for the governance and rapid removal of user-generated content that is illegal or deemed offensive or harmful to the wider public.
To help organizations better understand the proposed changes, Image Analyzer commissioned whitepapers written by specialist technology sector law firm Bird & Bird. The whitepapers are written in clear, jargon-free language, provide an overview of the law and summarize the key points.

We help organizations minimize their corporate legal risk exposure caused by people abusing their digital platform access to share harmful visual material. Our technology has been designed to identify visual risks in milliseconds, including illegal content, and images and videos that are deemed harmful to users, especially children and vulnerable adults.
