Meta Platforms accuses UK regulator Ofcom of imposing the highest online safety fines without adequately justifying their necessity to deter breaches, while Ofcom maintains its approach promotes compliance culture. Meta is contesting the revenue calculations underlying regulatory fees and fines under the Online Safety Act.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tougher UK regulator whose push for high online safety fines signals a more costly compliance regime. Challenge your exposure to UK fines now before new rules reshape penalty risks.
