Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of Apple's proposed decision to enable DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) in the upcoming updates for iOS and MacO on parents ability to keep their children safe online.
We are aware of ongoing developments relating to the DNS over HTTPS protocol and are working with industry and other key stakeholders to understand potential unintended consequences arising from its implementation. We are working closely with a wide range of relevant stakeholders to ensure that new technologies do not compromise the safety of children online.
