PRESS RELEASE

Background

The Global Online Safety Regulators Network (GOSRN) has today published a regulatory index, which provides a comparison for how international online safety regulators are approaching their respective regulatory duties.

GOSRN is a forum aimed at supporting collaboration between online safety regulators across the world. By bringing regulators together, the Network aims to bring about coherence between international regulators’ approaches to online safety, through the sharing of information, expertise and experience.

The Network currently comprises nine regulators spanning five continents: the eSafety Commissioner (Australia); Online Safety Commission (Fiji); Arcom (France); Coimisiún na Meán (Ireland); Korea Communications Standards Commission (Republic of Korea); Council for Media Services (Slovakia); Film and Publication Board (South Africa); and Autoriteit Terroristische Content en Kinderpornografisch Materiaal (Netherlands) and Ofcom (UK).

Online Safety Regulatory Index

In October 2024, the Network published the Online Safety Regulatory Index, collating members' approaches to online safety regulation.

The Index is designed to support comparison of online safety regulatory frameworks. collaboration between regulators, and regulatory coherence. By understanding the areas of consistency and divergence in regulations, regulators can aim to ensure that the online safety of internet users in our respective countries does not stop ‘at the border’ and that companies can benefit from economies of scale.

Use the Index to better understand the online safety regulatory environment of member countries.
