- Child protections top the agenda, with calls for age‑assurance requirements, robust parental account controls, and features to reduce risks like sexual exploitation and self‑harm.
- The framework proposes guardrails against government‑driven censorship of lawful speech and recommends a sector‑by‑sector regulatory approach rather than a single rule‑making body.
