For example, the United Kingdom’s proposed May 2021 Online Safety Bill, which like previous proposed legislation, seeks to create a new regulatory body responsible for establishing duties of care for Internet companies that provide user-generated content and for assessing related compliance.

As proposed, failure to comply with the legislation could result in fines, blocking of services and personal liability for senior management.

We are particularly sensitive to laws and regulations that adversely impact the popularity or growth in use of the Internet and/or online products and services generally, restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or manner in which we provide our products and services, regulate the practices of third parties upon which we rely to provide our products and services and undermine open and neutrally administered Internet access.

For example, the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act (which both came into force in November 2022) form a single set of new rules that will be applicable to online intermediaries and platforms across the whole EU to seek to create a safer and more open digital space.

Failure to comply with the Digital Services Act could result in the imposition of fines in an amount of up to 6% of a given online intermediary or platform’s annual worldwide turnover in the preceding fiscal year.

Further, the United Kingdom is expected to enact in 2023 the Online Safety Bill that would significantly increase responsibilities of online platforms to control illegal or harmful activity and grant broad authority to the UK communications regulator to enforce its provisions.

And as proposed, failure to comply with the Online Safety Bill could result in significant fines, blocking of services and personal liability for senior management.

To the extent our businesses are required to implement new measures and/or make changes to our products and services to ensure compliance, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
