Recent investigations announced into platforms such as 4chan,Im.ge, Krakenfiles and other file-sharing services highlight a growing urgency for effective, proactive content safety solutions.
Regulators are now formally examining whether these services have:
- Failed to implement adequate safety measures to protect UK users from illegal content
- Neglected to conduct and document properillegal harms risk assessments
- Ignored statutory information requests— obligations that digital services are legally required to meet.
In parallel, a separate investigation is reviewing whether First Time Videos LLC (operators of adult sites including FTVGirls.com and FTVMilfs.com) have implemented effective age assurance systems to protect children from exposure to pornographic material.
