It's been one week since the UK government introduced its Online Safety Act, legislation that requires people to provide age verification in order to access content that is adult-related. Two surveys conducted before and after the rules came into place, by a research and data analysis group, suggest that a significant portion of the British populace supports the new laws, but an equally large percentage also reckon that they're not very effective.
That's according to a report from YouGov, which surveyed almost 4,400 British adults about their thoughts on the new Online Safety Act. When asked whether they supported or opposed the legislation, almost 70% of the sample either somewhat or strongly supported it.
