英国监管机构因4chan无视《网络安全法》要求处以罚款

内容来源:https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/uk-regulator-fines-4chan-for-ignoring-online-safety-act-demands-045026169.html?src=rss

内容总结:

英国通信管理局对匿名网络论坛4chan处以2万英镑罚款,原因是该平台拒绝遵守英国《2023年在线安全法案》规定的信息提供义务。这是该法案自今年3月部分条款生效以来,监管机构开出的首张罚单。

调查显示,4chan不仅未按要求提交非法内容风险评估报告,也未提供全球营收数据。该平台已于今年8月以"侵犯美国公民言论自由"为由对监管机构提起诉讼,此次拒交材料的行为延续了其对抗立场。英国科学、创新与技术大臣莉兹·肯德尔强调:"此次罚款明确警示那些拒绝清除非法内容、未保护儿童免受有害信息影响的平台。"

除罚款外,4chan还将面临每日100英镑的追加处罚,直至履行信息提供义务。监管同步披露了另11项调查进展:两家文件共享服务因部署儿童性虐待材料自动检测工具获认可,另有四家平台通过屏蔽英国IP地址的方式规避监管,相关调查已终止。

《在线安全法案》的推行已促使Reddit、X等平台陆续启动年龄验证机制,凸显英国强化网络治理的决心。

英国监管机构因4chan无视《网络安全法》要求对其处以罚款。英国通信办公室对该网站处以2万英镑(约合2.67万美元)的罚金,原因是该平台未配合监管机构依据2023年《网络安全法》提出的信息提交要求。自今年三月首部网络安全行为准则生效后,该监管机构已对11项调查进展进行了通报。4chan显然忽视了提交非法内容风险评估报告及全球营收数据的要求。这是英国通信办公室根据新法规开出的首张罚单,该法规旨在防止儿童接触网络有害内容,并已促使Reddit和X等平台实施年龄验证措施。

监管机构于六月启动对4chan调查时指出,该匿名论坛涉嫌存在非法内容投诉。4chan拒绝向监管机构提供其平台非法内容风险信息的行为并不令人意外——早在八月,该平台就曾起诉英国通信办公室,主张英国《网络安全法》的执行侵犯了美国公民的言论自由。英国科学、创新与技术大臣莉兹·肯德尔表示:"此次罚款是对那些未能清除非法内容或保护儿童免受有害材料影响企业的明确警告。"若4chan持续拒绝配合信息提交要求,监管机构还将对其追加每日100英镑(约133美元)的滞纳罚金。

英国通信办公室同期公布了其他调查结果:两家文件共享服务因存在"严重合规隐患",现已部署能自动检测并快速删除儿童性虐待材料的工具;另有四家因同类问题被调查的文件共享服务选择直接屏蔽英国IP访问,监管机构因此终止了相关调查。

UK regulator fines 4chan for ignoring Online Safety Act demands
Ofcom has fined the website £20,000.
Ofcom has slapped 4chan with a £20,000 ($26,700) fine for failing to comply with the internet and telecommunications regulator's request for information under the UK's Online Safety Act of 2023. The regulator has released an update for 11 of the investigations it opened after the first of its online safety codes became enforceable in March this year. Apparently, 4chan has ignored its requests for a copy of its illegal harms risk assessment and to provide information about its qualifying worldwide revenue. This is the first fine Ofcom has handed down under the new law, which was designed to prevent children from accessing harmful content online and which has prompted websites like Reddit and X to put up age verification measures.
When the regulator launch its probe into 4chan in June, it said it received complaints about illegal content on the anonymous online board. It doesn't exactly come as a surprise that 4chan refuses to give the regulator information about the risks of illegal content on its website: Back in August, the service filed a lawsuit against Ofcom, arguing that the enforcement of the UK's Online Safety Act violates Americans' freedom of speech. "This fine is a clear warning to those who fail to remove illegal content or protect children from harmful material," said Liz Kendall, the UK Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. The regulator is also imposing an additional penalty of £100 ($133) per day on 4chan until it complies with its requests for information.
Ofcom has announced the results of other investigations, as well, such as finding "serious compliance concerns" with two file-sharing services that have now deployed an automated tool that can detect and quickly remove uploads with child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Four other file-sharing services that were also under investigation for CSAM chose to geoblock access from UK IP addresses instead, so the regulator closed their cases.
