“This tells us how much of the problem is about the design of platforms, algorithms and recommendation systems that put harmful content in front of children who never sought it out,” the commissioner said, calling for the report to act as a “line in the sand”.
From the report text:
Content warning
This report is not intended to be read by children.
This report makes frequent reference to sexual harassment and sexual violence. This includes descriptions of pornographic content, language and discussion of sexual abuse.
By the commissioner’s standard, the commission’s report itself should probably be behind an age-gated access method or at least not indexed by Google.

I bet they’re gonna try and require VPN websites to put age checks on them.
