Online safety Protecting children Illegal and harmful content Research, statistics and data Video-sharing platform (VSP) regulation

Published: 14 December 2023

This report looks at how TikTok, Twitch and Snap are protecting children from accessing potentially harmful videos.

UK-based video-sharing platforms (VSP) must put in place measures to protect children from encountering videos that may impair their physical, mental, or moral development. Our report last year found that all notified VSPs have some safety measures in place, but they could be stronger.

This year, we've taken a closer look at how VSPs protect children online. This report focuses on TikTok, Twitch and Snap – three of the most popular regulated video-sharing services for under-18s. What measures do they have to stop children encountering harm, and how do they enforce and test them?
