Meta launches legal challenge against UK's Ofcom over online safety rules
The tech company says its dispute concerns how the regulator interprets and applies the rules, not the rules themselves.
According to Anadolu Agency, Meta has filed legal challenges against Ofcom, the United Kingdom's communications regulator, over its handling of new online safety rules.
Meta said the challenges are focused specifically on how Ofcom interprets and applies the rules, rather than a rejection of online safety regulation itself.
No further details on the scope or timeline of the legal action were provided in the report.
