Schedule 13: Penalties imposed by OFCOM under Chapter 6 of Part 7 Chapter 7: Committees, research and reports Section 152: Advisory committee on disinformation and misinformation
This section places an obligation on OFCOM to form an advisory committee on disinformation and misinformation. This is because the spread of inaccurate information, regardless of intent, is particularly concerning. The section sets out what OFCOM should consider when appointing committee members, what the functions of the committee are, and what the committee’s reporting obligations are.
