Samaritans supplied Ofcom with evidence that a specific site was still directly accessible to users based in the UK
On Tuesday 4th November 2025, Samaritans supplied Ofcom with evidence that a specific site was still directly accessible to users based in the UK. Ofcom therefore decided that their investigation into the site would continue based on the evidence supplied by Samaritans, as laid out in their statement dated 6th November.
Welcoming this, Emily Kell, Online Safety Lead at Samaritans, said: “We’re really pleased that Ofcom have continued their investigation into this specific site, following evidence we shared with them showing it was still directly accessible to people in the UK.
“Since Ofcom’s announcement yesterday, it appears this site isn’t currently available; however, we know more needs to be done to tackle harmful online content, particularly around small but high-risk platforms and emerging risks, such as AI. We look forward to continuing to work with Ofcom to help make the internet a safer place for all UK users.”
