Families urge shutdown of graphic death video site

Families of victims are urging Ofcom to shut down a website that shares graphic videos of deaths, including those of their loved ones. The site has over three million members and features disturbing content, including executions and suicides. Ofcom has gained new powers under the Online Safety Act to tackle illegal content online. Starting today, platforms must implement systems to remove such material, or face fines and court orders. However, the website's hosting in the U.S. complicates enforcement. Critics express concerns about the site's impact on youth and the normalization of violence. Ofcom acknowledges the content is disturbing but faces challenges due to the site's anonymous administrators. The website claims to address reports from authorities.
