LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Meta, TikTok ⁠and X are challenging British regulator Ofcom over the amount of ⁠information it is demanding they provide under Britain's nascent online safety ‌regime.

The challenge is one of the first in relation to the 2023 Online Safety Act, which sets tougher standards for platforms such as TikTok, X and Meta's Facebook and Instagram ​with the aim to protect children from harmful ⁠and illegal content.

伦敦，10 月 5 日（路透社）——Meta、TikTok 和 X 正在挑战英国监管机构 Ofcom，因为 Ofcom 要求它们根据英国新兴的网络安全制度提供的信息量过大。

这项挑战是与 2023 年《网络安全法》相关的首批挑战之一，该法案对 TikTok、X 和 Meta 旗下的 Facebook 和 Instagram 等平台设定了更严格的标准，旨在保护儿童免受有害和非法内容的侵害。
