The Online Safety Act, Effective July 25th, 2025

 

This has prompted Ofcom to implement new rules aimed at protecting children online, including stricter age checks, filtering harmful content, and requiring services to be more transparent about their safety measures. 
 
Key Changes;

 

Stricter Age Verification:

Platforms must now use "highly effective age assurance" to prevent children from accessing harmful content like pornography. 
 
Filtering Harmful Content:
Algorithms must be adjusted to filter out harmful content from children's feeds, and platforms must take swift action when harmful content is identified. 
 
Transparency and Accountability:
Services must clearly outline their safety measures in terms of service, provide accessible reporting and complaints mechanisms, and have a designated person accountable for children's safety. 
 
Increased Enforcement:
Ofcom has the power to issue large fines for non-compliance and even block services in the UK. 
 
Proactive Measures:
Platforms are expected to proactively reduce risks associated with illegal activity, including child sexual abuse and exploitation, terrorism, and disinformation. 
 
Ofcom
Ofcom will also consult on draft guidance for potential "super-complainants" who can raise systemic online safety issues. 
Specific actions taken by Ofcom include:

Publishing guidance on age assurance and children's access to online services. 

Issuing draft transparency notices to categorized services. 
Consulting on the listed events regime under the Media Act. 
Reviewing selected risk assessments to ensure they are suitable and sufficient. 
Preparing to publish reports on highly effective age assurance, content harmful to children, and app stores. 
Overall, the Online Safety Act aims to create a safer online environment for children by shifting the responsibility onto platforms to proactively protect them from harm, with Ofcom playing a key role in enforcement and oversight. 
 

Locked content and the Online Safety Act

 

Ofcom's requirements: Under the OSA, services accessible by children must prevent children from encountering "primary priority content that is harmful to children", according to Wikipedia. This includes pornography and content encouraging self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders. Platforms publishing pornography are specifically required to implement age verification.

Highly effective age assurance: As of July 25, 2025, websites hosting user-generated content that could contain pornography must use "highly effective age assurance" to prevent access by minors. This means relying solely on a user-declared age is insufficient.

Your obligation: You need to ensure that whatever your locked content is, it cannot be accessed by minors. If it falls within the categories requiring age verification under the OSA, you must implement the appropriate age assurance measures. 

 

If Your underage and owning an 18+ website

Age and the Act: The OSA is concerned with the content on the platform and who can access it, particularly regarding minors' exposure to harmful content. The fact that you are 17 and own an 18+ website is not directly addressed by the OSA itself as a criminal offence, but it raises significant concerns related to your ability to comply with the Act's requirements, particularly the child protection and age verification duties.

Responsibility for content: As a website owner, you are legally responsible for the content posted on your site and for implementing the required safety measures. 

 

Potential Ofcom investigation and prosecution

Ofcom's powers: Ofcom, the UK's online safety regulator, has the power to investigate non-compliance with the OSA, regardless of where the website originates from. If you have a website and has a significant number of UK users or targets the UK market, it falls under the OSA's jurisdiction.

Consequences of non-compliance: Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to £18 million or 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue, whichever is greater. In serious cases, Ofcom can seek a court order to block the site in the UK.

Criminal liability for managers: Senior managers may face criminal action for repeated breaches of child safety duties. 

The Online Safety Act 2023

 

The Online Safety Act 2023 aims to protect children online, including those under 13, by placing new duties on online platforms or websites, to keep them safe. Specifically, the Act requires platforms, or websites to have measures in place to prevent children under 13 from accessing social media and other online services. This includes implementing age verification or age assurance technology to enforce age limits. It also extends from ages 13 ~ 17. This website does not link to websites that are age restricted to 18 and over, that contain material unsuitable for minors to view, and material that is locked away.

If a non-18+ website links to an 18+ site, and that link leads to a child encountering material unsuitable for minor's, the website hosting that link could be held liable under the Act for failing to protect children.


As of 25, July 2025, all sites and apps that allow pornography will need to have strong age checks in place, to make sure children can’t access that or other harmful content. We do not link to pornography, or any other website that is 18 and over, with content locked that may contain explicit material. Please note regardless of content any website that is 18 and over, is regarded as an adult website.

Online platforms will need to assess the risks their services pose to children, implement measures to mitigate those risks, and ensure that children's safety is considered in their design. This includes filtering harmful content from children's feeds, providing better reporting and complaint mechanisms, and offering tools for children to block or mute accounts and comments.

We will be doing a risk assessment ourselves.

Important Information

 

The online safety act 2023.

The Equality Act 2010.

 

We support this, as we have based our websites policy on this.

Keeping minors safe online is paramount.

We will never link to websites that carry the 18+ attached to it this would give minors access to an adult site via our site,

and that wouldn't be acceptable.

We regard all websites that are 18+ only as adult websites.

And as this website supports The online safety act 2023, which is a revised online safety act which can protect adults aswell.

This website doesn't support websites that contain explicit content.

Websites that have locked content, if found to be suspicious of it containing explicit content unsuitable for minors.

We are a responsible website. Anyone with a website that has content like we have described wanting to link to our website will instantaneously be refused by our team

we will not allow our website to be affiliated with these type of websites.

Anyone wanting to link to our website we will require your website URL to check to see if it complies with our policy

if it doesn't then you will be declined.

To meet our policy your website must not have the following

 

(a) 18 and over only

(b) locked or encrypted content. That may have explicit content

(c) promotion of segregation, racialism, hate, discrimination of religion, disability, age, gender, lgbt.

Coco Quinn's website states in the terms of service users must be 18 years of age or older, so if Coco is interacting with people via her website, and I uploading the content that is locked, therefore she is classed as a user herself and she herself is under 18. There is a mismatch between her websites age requirements and her fanbase's age.

Thankyou Website Team.

Legal Notice

 

This website, works in accordance to the countries laws it was developed in, we provide you with this website under the terms of service set out in our terms of service. It is not this websites purpose to link to such websites that contain explicit offensive material, if we should find that anyone has linked to this website from such a website we will take legal action. We do not endorse pornography or violence, racialist content of any kind, anyone found using our forum to promote hostility, hate, anti Semitism, or any other kind of discrimination or segregation towards others is strictly prohibited. Anyone found to be spreading hate towards anyone in the forum will be barred and we will take the appropriate action. Anyone promoting hate towards Coco Quinn herself will be barred and the appropriate action will be taken.

Our site is not intended for an adult audience only, as in inappropriate content that is explicit. Although, this website is suitable for ages 14 ~ adult, we do not want our site to be associated with 18+ content websites that contain inappropriate explicit content. If we find that any website links to ours that is 18 and over with explicit encrypted content, we will take the appropriate action. Legal Action.

A subscription website that has 18 and over means only Adults can subscribe which makes it an adult website, and just because a website is an adult website it doesn't necessarily mean its a website containing pornographic video's, however the locked content can be somewhat explicit 

This website is updated regularly we consult with Ofcom's guidelines and The online safety act 2023.

The Online Safety Act 2023, taking effect on July 25th, 2025, requires platforms hosting pornography or other harmful content to implement robust age verification measures to prevent children from accessing such content. [This includes websites that link to 18+ content], as these are considered user-to-user services under the Act.** Platforms must use "highly effective" age assurance methods, like age verification or estimation, to ensure children cannot normally access this material.

** We do not link to 18+ websites see our policy for more details.

All websites we regard as adult websites if they have 18+ in their terms of service as the website is aimed at 18 and over meaning adults only

Linking your website, which is not targeted at an 18+ audience, to a website that is explicitly for adults could have several implications, primarily around user experience and potentially legal concerns. While a simple hyperlink doesn't automatically transfer authority or content, it can create an impression of association and potentially lead to unwanted exposure for your users. Coco Quinn online however is suitable for most ages 14 ~ adult, our forum is 14+ even though this website is 14 ~ adult that doesn't mean we're going to link to an 18 rated adult website with encrypted content which could contain explicit material. 

Our Commitment to Online Safety

 

Coco Quinn Online, has made a principled decision not to link to websites categorized as "adult" (requiring age verification for 18+)

due to its commitment to The Online Safety Act 2023. The Online Safety Bill (July 25, 2025 revision), Ofcom guidelines.

COPPA, and COPPA 2.0. (USA)
Even if the website in question is associated with Coco Quinn, our decision is driven by our website's policy and commitment to online safety and compliance with relevant regulations.
The fact that Coco Quinn herself is a minor according to multiple sources, does not change the classification of her website as "adult" (requiring age verification for 18+). The decision of the website owner (us the team) is based on the content and access restrictions of the website itself, not on the age of the person associated with it.
Websites with content restrictions requiring visitors to be 18 and over, often fall under the category of adult websites and may contain content deemed unsuitable for younger audiences.
Therefore, refusing to link to such a website aligns with our stated commitment to online safety and adherence to the various acts and guidelines mentioned. We've clearly explained this position to visitors. Our refusal is grounded in these regulations and the commitment of Coco Quinn Online to maintain a responsible online environment for its users.

Ofcom Notice!

 

New online safety bill started  July 25th 2025

 

Sites and apps which allow harmful content must protect children from accessing it from the end of this week, Ofcom has warned, as the deadline approaches for tech firms to comply with new rules.

The changes mean that risky sites and apps – large and small – must use highly effective ‘age gating’ methods to identify which users are children, and then prevent them from accessing pornography, as well as self-harm, suicide and eating disorder content.

Online Safety Act Revised July 25th 2025

 

Under the UK's Online Safety Act, websites with adult content, including those with age restrictions like Coco Quinn's site, are required to implement robust age verification measures to prevent underage access. Failure to comply could result in websites being blocked in the UK.

Here's a more detailed explanation:


Online Safety Act:
This new law, which came into effect on July 25, 2025, aims to protect children online by ensuring they cannot access pornography or other harmful content.
Age Verification:
The Act mandates that websites hosting adult content must verify the age of their users, moving beyond simply asking users to tick a box confirming they are over 18.
"Highly Effective" Methods:
Websites need to use "highly effective" methods like ID checks (passports, driving licenses), credit card verification, or AI facial age estimation to confirm users are of legal age.
Consequences of Non-Compliance:
Websites that fail to comply with these age verification requirements risk being blocked from UK users or facing significant fines.

 

 

*The UK's Online Safety Act primarily applies to user-to-user services (like social media, messaging apps, and online games) and search services, including search engines. It also covers services that publish or display pornographic content. The Act aims to make the internet safer by tackling illegal and harmful content, including child sexual exploitation, terrorism, and hate speech. 
 
Examples of services in scope:

 

User-to-user services: Social media platforms, messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Messenger), online forums, dating apps, and online gaming platforms with chat functions.

Search services: Search engines (e.g., Google), but also any service that allows users to search across multiple websites or databases.

Pornography sites: Any service that publishes or displays certain pornographic content. 

Examples of illegal and harmful content the Act addresses:

 

Child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA): This includes content related to grooming, child pornography, and exploitation. 

 

Terrorism: Promoting or facilitating terrorist acts. 

 

Hate speech: Content that incites violence or hatred against individuals or groups. 

 

Harassment, stalking, threats, and abuse: Online harassment, including cyberstalking, threats, and abusive messages. 

 

Controlling or coercive behaviour: Online behaviour that aims to control or coerce another person. 

 

Intimate image abuse: Sharing or distributing private, intimate images without consent. 

 

Extreme pornography: Material that depicts sexual violence or exploitation. 

 

Sexual exploitation of adults: Including human trafficking and grooming. 

 

Fraud and financial crimes: Online scams and fraudulent activities. 

 

Illegal drugs and weapons: Promoting or facilitating the sale or distribution of illegal substances or weapons. 

 

Encouraging or assisting suicide: Content that promotes or encourages self-harm or suicide. 

 

Animal cruelty: Content that depicts or promotes animal cruelty. 

 
Exemptions:

Services where the only user-generated content is email, SMS, or MMS messages.

Services with limited functionality, such as those where users can only post comments or reviews on provider-published content. 

 
In essence, the Online Safety Act aims to create a safer online environment by holding online platforms accountable for the content they host and enabling users, especially children, to have a more positive online experience.
 
**A paradoxical website refers to a website or a design element within a website that presents a sense of contradiction or an unexpected, often humorous or thought-provoking, combination of elements. This could manifest as a design that appears simple yet is incredibly complex, or a site that uses contradictory visual elements to create a unique user experience. It can also refer to a website that highlights a perceived conflict between online behaviour and privacy expectations, known as the Privacy Paradox***
 
***The privacy paradox describes the discrepancy between individuals' stated concerns about privacy and their actual online behaviour, where they tend to share personal information despite expressing worries about its use. This means people say they care about their privacy, but their actions online often contradict this sentiment. 

 

Important Notice From The Team

Important Legal Changes

 

Ofcom July 25, 2025 Online Safety Bill: Ofcom's new rules, took effect on July 25th, 2025, require all UK-accessible websites and apps that allow pornography to implement robust age checks to prevent children from accessing it. This means that non-18 websites, including those that link to 18 and over websites, will need to have age verification measures in place to ensure children are not exposed to harmful content. However Coco Quinn Online will not be linking to any website that is 18 and over not even Coco Quinn's Website as her website is 18 and over as stated in her websites terms of service. And in her websites privacy policy it states that her website isn't for under 18's Coco Quinn herself is 17 which contradicts the very core of her websites legal terms, making it an adult website. She promotes it on her Instagram giving the impression that anyone can come and chat with her on her website.

 

Focus on service providers, not users

 

The Online Safety Act (OSA): places duties on service providers, such as website operators, to protect users, especially children. The Act does not target minors for being present on a platform with age restrictions.**

A minor operating or contributing to a paywall site: does present a compliance failure for the service provider. Under the OSA, the provider must demonstrate it has taken 'proportionate' measures to prevent children from accessing or being harmed by age-inappropriate content. This is a breach of the websites terms if the age-gate restrictions are broken.

Penalties for the provider can be severe, potentially reaching fines of up to £18 million or 10% of their global annual revenue. For very serious breaches, Ofcom can even seek court-ordered sanctions that could disrupt the website's UK operations. 

Legal ambiguity: The lack of clarity in the official legal terms could be an issue for the website owner if regulators or users were to challenge its practices.

Potential risks: If a minor subscribes, even with a parent's help, they are doing so under a set of terms that explicitly exclude them. This creates uncertainty about what protections or recourse the minor would have in the event of a dispute.

Legal and online safety guidelines

Website's responsibilities: For any service likely to be accessed by children, online safety regulations require operators to use age-assurance measures and, depending on the content, take other protective actions.

Parental consent requirements: Simply having a parent sign up is not always enough. Depending on jurisdiction, some regulations may require "reasonable efforts" to verify that the person giving consent actually has parental responsibility for the child.

Operating under 18: The fact that if a user is under 18 and operating a commercial website with an 18+ age restriction raises potential issues. Minors cannot legally enter into contracts, so having a parent manage the business is standard practice, but this doesn't automatically resolve all age-related issues for the website's users

Enforceability of terms: A minor cannot legally enter into a contract, including a website's terms and conditions. As a result, a website operator can't hold a minor user accountable for breaching their terms. To address this, many sites require a parent or guardian to consent to the terms on the minor's behalf, however not all websites are the same.

Lack of transparency: if a website is intended for parents to subscribe for minors, the legal terms should clearly state this. The absence of this specific language creates an inconsistency that is legally problematic.

** Coco Quinn Online Adheres to. Coco Quinn Online doesn't link to 18 and over websites.

Ofcom July 25, 2025

 

 

As most of you will be aware, Ofcom have introduced new strict measures on online safety for minors or under 18's. These are a new set of regulations that have been introduced, this was necessary to protect under 18's from accessing 18+ content on websites and apps.
The idea that 18+ websites should only link to other 18+ websites is a concept related to online safety and age verification, particularly concerning the protection of minors.
Which we fully agree with,
Many 18+ websites implement age verification methods to ensure that only adults can access such content.
By limiting links to other 18+ sites, websites can reduce the likelihood of minors being directed to such content through external links, from websites that are or aren't 18+ websites*.
We ourselves do not link to 18+ websites we have been asked via our contact form on the website why we aren't linking to Coco Quinn's website, that is because it is 18+ as stated in her websites terms of service, this prevents minors accessing her website through our website if we were linking to her website.
Currently we are linking to Coco's social media platforms

Okay we want to try and end the confusion here, we call Coco Quinn's website an adult website due to it carrying the 18+ in its terms of service, an adult website doesn't necessarily mean its a porn website.
Okay let us explain.
A website might be classified as 18+ even without explicit content due to various reasons, including potential exposure to harmful or inappropriate content.
legal requirements, or simply to avoid any potential issues with age-restricted material.
Websites might contain content that, while not explicitly sexual, could be harmful or inappropriate for children. Ofcom, states online services should implement safeguards to manage the risks of online harms to children. This includes content that could be violent, disturbing, or related to illegal activities.

A website might contain links to other websites or content that is considered explicit, even if the website itself does not host such content. The Internet Watch Foundation monitors and blocks child abuse material online*.

To own and operate an 18+ website, you need to be at least 18 years old due to contractual limitations and legal requirements regarding age verification for adult content. Online marketplaces also generally require users to be 18 or older because selling involves contracts, which minors can't legally enter into.

Linking to someone's social media account that links to an 18+ website could be problematic, depending on the content of the website and the age of the social media user. While there's no explicit law against it, platforms may have policies against linking to certain types of content, and there are potential safety concerns, particularly if the user is under 18. 


If a non-18+ website links to an 18+ site, and that link leads to a child encountering material unsuitable for minor's, the website hosting that link could be held liable under the Act for failing to protect children.

* We do not link to 18+ websites

Ofcom's new online safety bill

 

As of July 25, 2025 websites and platforms have to implement better age verification for access to websites that contain explicit content.* This is being enforced by Ofcom for The Online Safety Act

*We ourselves do not link to such websites.

 

However we are going to be doing a review on current sites we link to, to check to see any website we link to isn't linking themselves to pornography or any other content deemed unsuitable for persons under the age of 18.

The Online Safety Act 2023.

Ofcom.

 

The Ofcom Online Safety Bill, effective July 25th, 2025, does apply to websites linking to age-restricted content (like pornography, and other age restricted websites)

from non-age-restricted websites.

The bill mandates age verification measures for all sites and apps that allow access to pornography, and other unsuitable content, including those that link to it. This means that if a non-18-and-over website links to a website with adult content, both sites must implement age checks.***

*** We will not be linking to any website, that has content unsuitable for under 18's regardless of what kind of website it is, that applies to any website that is 18 and over.
