Online Safety Act, a sprawling set of new internet laws, came into force on Monday .

It includes measures to prevent children from seeing abusive content, age verification for adult websites, criminalising cyber-flashing and deepfakes.

Sites must complete risk assessments detailing how they deal with illegal material and implement safety measures to deal with the risk.

Ofcom has pledged to prioritise larger sites, which are more at risk.
