The Online Safety Bill received Royal Assent on October 26, 2023. The Online Safety Act 2023 should help to protect pension savers from scammers as it imposes a legal duty on the largest social media platforms and search engines to prevent fraudsters posting advertisements.

The new duties are to be policed by Ofcom.
