In the event of non-compliance, Ofcom will have the necessary powers to take appropriate and proportionate enforcement action to secure compliance from all services in scope of the Online Safety framework, including operators of online pornography services. This includes the power to require companies to take certain steps, the power to issue large fines, and powers to disrupt the ability of companies to operate in the UK.
