The broken families invite online organ organizers to close the “evil” website that strengthens videos of the death of their loved ones.
The site, which we do not call, contains more than three million members and contains thousands of graphic images and videos of killing real life and suicide, as well as the executions of extremists. Among the former members of those who went to shoot schools and murders, can reveal the BBC.
From Monday, Offcom gets new powers to suppress illegal content, but it may not be enough to close the site.
The supervisor team said that they will give their “full interest” to any requests from Offcom.
Under the online safety law, the regulator can now take action on illegal content and includes videos that enhance terrorism or banned extremist groups.
All websites will now have to show that they have systems to remove illegal materials. If they fail to do so, the regulator can obtain court orders to prohibit platforms or impose fines of up to 18 million pounds.
Since the summer, all sites must have strong age verification systems to prevent children from reaching a set of content.
But critics believe that the legislation itself is weak and that Offcom is not strong enough in how to plan the police sites.
Mike Henz David’s brother was killed by members of the Islamic State Group (IS) in Syria in 2014. A full, non -controlled video of his killing is on the site.
Mr. Hainz says the site is “evil” and describes the content as “terrifying.” It indicates that there is no effective age verification and concerns about affecting children.
He says: “It is like a drug, as soon as you have your first taste, you want another taste,” he says.
“So you want to see more, become more violent, more graphic and more disgusting.”
Bethani, daughter of David Hainz, says comments on videos are horrific. “For years, I was trying to track and report sites such sites. I have a fear that my son will ever see his grandfather’s video.”
Mr. Henz says that the authorities should behave now. “Every second we are late to close this site, we are at risk our youth.”
Offcom has spent the past 18 months since the online safety law has passed the platforms that the platforms must follow.
The regulator can now start practicing its powers to investigate and accurate platforms to host illegal materials.
Videos on the web site are classified into groups, which include executions by extremist groups as well as people who are alive, beheading with car and crushing cars by trains.
Although violence and worrying, all videos on the site will not be considered illegal.
Dr. Olivia Brown, who is studying extremism and extremism at the University of Bath, says that the repeated viewing of these types of videos, especially the shooting operations in schools, affects allergic users.
“What might seem like an impossible solution to what someone might feel, will then become something that might feel an applicable option,” she says.
The site is very sad for sad families.
A video of the main bird Nathan Odinson was placed in the “fall” category from the site by site officials.
The 33 -year -old of Cambridgeshire was jumping with experienced umbrellas, But he died when the umbrella failed to open after jumping from the 29 -storey tower in Pattaya, Thailand, last year.
A Thai friend was filming at the time and the video was first published on local social media.
His brother Ed Harrison said: “Nathan was a family member whom we liked.”
“I found it amazing, literally, that people may be half of them from participating in this video. I do not assume that the forum members have such ideas regarding their family members.”
From today, Offcom says that platforms must have systems to be applied to remove illegal content.
“We will not hesitate to take enforcement measures when necessary against the platforms that are short.”
The challenge facing Offcom is that the Death Website site was hosted in the United States and that its owner and officials are still unknown.
Offcom told us, “This content is very annoying.”
In a statement, the site supervisor team said, “It routinely receives reports from many government agencies and industry monitoring.”
“It will have our full interest,” said any reports from Offcom.
