We recognise the importance of access to trusted health information. The Act does not prevent users from publishing legal content or children and adults from accessing relevant health information. Once the remaining duties come in, large platforms will not be able to arbitrarily remove content and there will be effective complaints procedures when they do. I have asked Ofcom to do everything possible to speed up this final phase.
