Ofcom launches investigation into new age checks on 34 pornography websites

The UK's internet watchdog has launched an investigation into how four companies - that collectively run 34 pornography sites - are complying with new age-check requirements. Last week, new rules came into force requiring sites that allow adult content to bring in measures to prove that someone using them is over the age of 18. But Ofcom has now opened formal investigations into whether some providers have put effective age checks in place. These companies - 8579 LLC, AVS Group Ltd, Kick Online Entertainment S.A. and Trendio Ltd - run dozens of sites, and collectively have more than nine million unique monthly UK visitors, Ofcom said. Read more: What is the Online Safety Bill? The regulator said it prioritised the companies based on the risk of harm posed by the services they operated and their user numbers. It adds to the 11 investigations already in progress into 4chan, as well as an unnamed online suicide forum, seven file-sharing services, and two adult websites. Ofcom said it expects to make further enforcement announcements in the coming months. Read more: The regulator can impose fines of up to £18 million, or 10% of worldwide revenue (whichever is greater) if sites are found to have compliance failures. "Where appropriate, in the most serious cases, we can seek a court order for business disruption measures, such as requiring payment providers or advertisers to withdraw their services from a platform, or requiring internet service providers to block access to a site in the UK," Ofcom said. Five days since Ofcom's new internet regulations began being enforced, more than 450,000 people have signed a petition asking for them to be repealed. Adult content creators, meanwhile, have accused the government of censoring social media feeds. In response to the petition, the government said it had "no plans to repeal the Online Safety Act".

The five biggest non-Premier League summer transfers so far

Premier League teams are again dominating the transfer market with a spend that has dwarfed rival teams across world football. However, some high-profile deals have still been completed elsewhere, and we've ranked the five most lucrative of the summer so far. The five biggest non-Premier League summer transfers so far 5. Alvaro Carreras – Benfica to Real Madrid (€50m) Five years on from his exit, Real Madrid have re-signed academy product Alvaro Carreras in a big-money deal. The Spaniard shone during an 18-month spell at Benfica, whom he had joined after failing to earn a first-team role at Manchester United. Last season, Carreras was named in the Primeira Liga Team of the Year after making 52 appearances for Benfica across all competitions. It's been a rapid rise for the 22-year-old, who was named Preston North End's Young Player of the Year in 2022/23 during a loan spell at Deepdale. 4. Dean Huijsen – Bournemouth to Real Madrid (€62.5m) The second Real Madrid signing to feature on this list. Dean Huijsen was the first marquee mover of the summer window as the Spanish giants beat competition from the Premier League to sign the centre-back. Almost all of England's elite had registered interest in Huijsen, following a superb debut season at Bournemouth. The 20-year-old is nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award after shining on the south coast, where he ranked in the top 10 players in the Premier League for interceptions, clearances and progressive carrying distance. His €62.5m (£50m) release clause was activated in early June. 3. Mateo Retegui – Atalanta to Al-Qadsiah (€68.25m) Al-Qadsiah are responsible for the biggest transfer deal outside of Europe, after the Saudi side spent €68.25m to sign Mateo Retegui from Atalanta. The Italy international was the leading scorer in Serie A last season, scoring 25 league goals, to become the first Atalanta player since Filippo Inzaghi in 1996/97 to win the Capocannoniere. The deal makes Retegui the most expensive Italian footballer of all time. 2. Luis Diaz – Liverpool to Bayern Munich (€70m) Bayern Munich's pursuit of a high-profile left-winger ended at Luis Diaz. The German champions have signed the Colombian from Liverpool for a €70m fee. Diaz was a key part of Liverpool's title success last season, scoring 13 league goals, but declared his interest in an exit after contract talks stalled. He'll now form part of an exciting frontline in Munich, alongside Harry Kane and Michael Olise. 1. Victor Osimhen – Napoli to Galatasaray (€75m) Galatasaray have shattered the Turkish Süper Lig transfer record to sign Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal. Osimhen scored 39 goals in 41 games on loan at Galatasaray last season, setting a new record for an overseas player in Turkish football. The Nigerian international was linked with Saudi Arabia and the Premier League, but has chosen to remain in Istanbul. Galatasaray have agreed an initial €40m fee, with a further €35m in add-ons. Additionally, the Turkish champions cannot sell Osimhen back to another Serie A club for two years. Read – See more – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |

'Epic' boost drives Comcast's quarterly results

By Harshita Mary Varghese (Reuters) -Comcast topped estimates for quarterly revenue and profit on Thursday, driven by a surge in theme park attendance sparked by the May debut of "Epic Universe", growth in its domestic wireless business and a spike in streaming revenue. Shares of the company rose about 5% in premarket trading. The Central Florida attraction boosted theme park revenue by nearly 19% in the second quarter, to $2.35 billion, even though it was open for about one month into the reporting period. The park, which represents an estimated $7 billion investment, is one of the six areas that will contribute to Comcast's growth. The live-action remake of the DreamWorks animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon" generated around $600 million in global box office, lifting the studio's April-to-June revenue up 8% from a year ago. The Peacock streaming service reported revenue of $1.23 billion, a nearly 18% improvement, reflecting price hikes implemented in July 2024. Peacock maintained its total paid subscriber base of 41 million, thanks to hit shows such as the reality dating competition "Love Island USA". Losses at the division narrowed to $101 million, from $348 million a year earlier. Overall, Comcast reported revenue of $30.31 billion, narrowly beating the estimates of $29.81 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $1.25 per share, compared with estimates of $1.18. The company added 378,000 new wireless phone customers in the quarter, beating FactSet expectations for 345,000 additions. Comcast, which houses the Xfinity-brand of internet and cable services, shed 226,000 broadband customers in the second quarter, fewer than the 255,000 losses forecast by FactSet. To offset the ongoing broadband losses, Comcast has offered simplified all-inclusive packages that combine home internet, mobile and entertainment services. Comcast has also launched a five-year price lock guarantee for its internet customers, as it looks to reduce cancellations.
