Do you have questions about how to stay safe online?
Companies have until 25 July to apply new safety measures laid out by Ofcom - the regulator that oversees TV, radio and the internet in the UK.
It comes after the Online Safety Act was introduced, making online and social media companies legally responsible for keeping children and young people safe online.
Newsround will be speaking to the government about the new regulations and we want to ask them YOUR questions.

What is the Online Safety Act 2023?

The Online Safety Act is a new set of laws which aims to protect children and adults from illegal and harmful content online.
The new guidelines mean tech companies will have to make changes to the technology they use that recommends content to young people, and introduce better age checks by 25 July 2025 or they could face big fines.
Ofcom says its new rules include more than 40 guidelines that tech firms must follow, including:
Algorithms - tech which offers content users may like - must be changed to filter out harmful content from children's feeds.
Stricter age checks for people accessing age-restricted content.
Taking quick action when harmful content is identified.
Making terms of service easy for children to understand.
Giving children the option to decline group chats invitations which may include harmful content, and to block and mute accounts and to disable comments on their own posts.
Providing support to children who come across harmful content.
Having a "named person accountable for children's safety" at the organisation.
A yearly review of possible risks to children.
