Ofcom publishes first -edition codes of practice and guidance for tech firms laying out what they should be doing to tackle illegal harms such as terror, hate, fraud and child sexual abuse on their platforms.

The measures form the first set of duties imposed by the regulator under the Online Safety Act , a sweeping law requiring tech platforms to do more to combat illegal content online.

Ofcom can levy fines of up to 10% of companies' global annual revenues if they are found in breach of the rules.
