Fusion42 · 1 September 2026 · Fusion42 review

The UK Online Safety Act 2023 is entering enforcement with early legal challenges focusing on regulatory frameworks and Ofcom’s powers. Judicial reviews, including high-profile Wikimedia litigation, test the Act’s categorisation criteria and its impact on digital platforms amid significant compliance and cost burdens.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Ofcom’s strong enforcement of the Online Safety Act signals tougher regulatory barriers for online platforms, particularly around content moderation. You need to prepare for escalating compliance costs and legal scrutiny as the Act’s framework faces ongoing legal tests.
