In February 2018 it commissioned research into loot boxes in video games,[1] but concluded in March 2018 that loot boxes did not at that time constitute a specific threat to children.[2]

In 2021, the organisation stated that it intended to block several Internet pornography websites for failing to implement age verification for access to their content.[3]
