[Webinar] Prove it, Don’t Promise it: DSA & Online Safety Act Readiness for 2027

Regulators aren't asking platforms to make promises about how safe they are anymore - they're asking them to prove it. As DSA and other regulatory enforcement matures, "we have a policy" is no longer a defensible position. Every removal now needs a reason, and every reason needs a receipt. On Thursday 8th October at 4pm BST we'll be joined by George Billinge, CEO of Illuminate Tech - and a former Ofcom regulator - for an inside look at what safety-case readiness actually means in practice: what regulators look for, where platforms fall short, and how to turn day-to-day moderation decisions into transparent, audit-ready records. Whatever stage you are at in your compliance journey, you'll leave with a practical view of what "ready" looks like. *The date to register and attend this webinar has now passed. If you would like to access the recording, please fill out the form.
