From this policy briefing on an Amendment to UK's Online Safety Bill:
"The Amendment inserts a criminal liability into Section 11 of the Bill. ...
There is no clear and precise definition on the face of the Bill of what that content harmful to children is. ...
Without any definition, the tech companies do not know what it is that they are being held liable for. A criminal liability would be set for crimes yet to be defined, based on the actions of others."
This is a terrible policy paper made up of pipe dreams. It is impossible to clearly delineate content "harmful to children." Maybe that can be broadly applied to violence and guns, but that's still a broad definition.
