New online safety rules are here - but as tech races ahead, expect changes

New online safety rules are set to protect children from harmful content like pornography and self-harm material. Starting on July 25, tech platforms must verify users' ages to prevent underage viewing. However, concerns remain about the rules' effectiveness, with calls for further measures to address issues like in-app purchases and AI chatbots. Discussions on additional legislation to promote healthier online habits are underway, emphasizing the need to balance opportunities with safeguarding against internet dangers.
