[BIS] Terms & Conditions and Consumer Protection Fining Powers
Posted: 25/04/16
CTSI would welcome changes to assist the relationship between consumers and businesses with clearer terms & conditions, and more consumer engagement with T&C. CTSI believes that this would enhance consumer confidence and reduce both the burden on business and consumer detriment.
[DCMS / DfE / GEO] Child Safety Online: Age Verification for Pornography
Posted: 11/04/16
CTSI supports government action to legislate to ensure comprehensive age verification for access to online pornography - indeed, CTSI is already heavily involved in national work in this area. The planned approach offers future opportunities to mandate age verification to other age restricted products such as knives and tobacco. CTSI asks that the legislation is drafted to enable other products and regulators to be added at a later date after appropriate consultation. This would obviate training issues experienced by businesses due to the current piecemeal regulation of age restricted products.
