Australia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Kingdom to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries on online safety and security.

The MoU was the first arrangement of its kind and covered a broad range of online issues, including illegal content, child safety, age assurance, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, and harms caused by emerging technology (such as artificial intelligence).
