Technoleg diogelwch

Mae cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn agwedd bwysig ar fywyd bob dydd i’r rhan fwyaf ohonom. Mae bron pob oedolyn sy’n defnyddio’r rhyngrwyd yn defnyddio rhyw fath o lwyfan cyfathrebu ar-lein.

Mae’r Ddeddf Diogelwch Ar-lein yn rhoi cyfrifoldeb cyfreithiol ar fusnesau, ac unrhyw un arall sy’n gweithredu amrywiaeth eang o wasanaethau ar-lein, i sicrhau bod pobl (yn enwedig plant) yn ddiogel ar-lein yn y Deyrnas Unedig.

Mae’r dudalen hon yn egluro’r camau bydd Ofcom yn eu cymryd i gyhoeddi hysbysiadau gwybodaeth i ddarparwyr perthnasol er mwyn categoreiddio.
