Ofcom has laid out the measures it will require video-sharing platforms to take to better protect users.
The VSPs, including TikTok, Snapchat, Vimeo and Twitch, must ensure content related to terrorism, child sexual abuse and racism does not appear.
A third of users have seen hateful content on such sites, Ofcom says.
And the regulator will fine VSPs that breach its new mandatory guidelines or – in the most serious cases – suspend the service entirely.
