英国通信监管机构Ofcom正在调查Meta公司是否违反了《网络安全法》1。违反该法规可能导致从正式警告到全球收入10%的罚款1。调查焦点是Meta在Instagram推出Instants功能时是否进行了充分的安全风险评估1。
Instants是一项Snapchat风格的功能，允许用户发送查看后自动消失的图像1。该功能包含禁止转发和青少年账户设置等保护措施1。Ofcom对该功能是否可能显示非法内容或被儿童访问表示关注1。Ofcom主任George Lusty表示："你不会在没有适当测试的情况下推出新车，在线服务也是如此。"1
Molly Rose基金会（由自杀身亡少女Molly Russell的家人创立）表示Meta必须为违反《网络安全法》的行为负责1。此外，Ofcom已在调查Meta关于WhatsApp平台信息请求的合规情况1。Meta已在高等法院起诉Ofcom关于运营费用收费方式，并在另一案中挑战Ofcom将其纳入新类别1。
Britain's communications regulator Ofcom is investigating whether Meta breached the Online Safety Act by failing to conduct adequate safety risk assessments before launching Instagram Instants, a Snapchat-style feature that allows users to send images that disappear after viewing 1. The investigation focuses on potential risks including the display of illegal content and accessibility to children, despite the feature including protective measures such as forwarding restrictions and teen account settings 1.
Ofcom Director George Lusty stated that "You wouldn't launch a new car without testing it properly, and it's the same for online services," highlighting the regulator's concern over insufficient pre-launch safety testing 1. Violations of the Online Safety Act can result in penalties ranging from formal warnings to fines of up to 10 percent of global revenue 1. The Molly Rose Foundation, established by the family of teenager Molly Russell who died by suicide, has called on Meta to be held accountable for breaching the legislation 1.
This investigation adds to ongoing regulatory scrutiny of Meta, as Ofcom is also examining the company's compliance regarding information requests related to the WhatsApp platform 1. Meta has meanwhile challenged Ofcom in high court proceedings concerning operating fee charges and the regulator's decision to place the company in a new regulatory category 1.
