Oliver Griffiths

Oliver Griffiths is the group director of online safety at Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator. In his role, he focuses on implementing regulations that protect children from harmful online content. Recently, he has been vocal about the need for robust age verification measures for adult websites, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding young users from easily accessible pornography. Griffiths has highlighted that the existing measures, such as merely clicking a button to confirm age, are inadequate, and he supports the introduction of more stringent checks to ensure a safer online environment for children.
