Is Ofcom too timid to tackle big tech's online mess?

So here's the thing—Jess Phillips calls out online safety as a ticking time bomb, and you have to wonder why Ofcom seems to be dragging its feet on this. We're talking about massive tech companies with the capability to change the digital landscape, and yet, the accountability portion of their business model is suspiciously absent. Much like Uber bulldozing through traditional taxi services, the lack of effective oversight feels like a market disruption without the market correction. Big tech operates on this assumption that as long as they're growing, they're untouchable. It's almost like they work on the better-to-ask-for-forgiveness-than-permission model. But here's a thought—are regulators just knee-deep in bureaucracy, or are they just waiting for someone else to blink first? Ofcom partially blames 'the complexity' of the online world, but c'mon, complexity is like the bread and butter of innovation! If they view this challenge like entrepreneurs see problems, it’s ripe with opportunity for innovative regulation, not as an excuse to stall. If we're serious about holding big tech accountable, do we really think Ofcom's current strategy is... scalable? Or do we need a disruptive regulatory approach that actually keeps pace with tech's breakneck speed? What happens if they don’t rise to this challenge?
