Websites face being blocked in UK by new 'online harms' regulator

the New Zealand mosque shootings were easily avoiding the platform's moderation efforts, despite a general clampdown across social media platforms.

The new proposals follow the government's pledge to make the UK"one of the safest places in the world to be online" after a number of scandals which have blamed harmful content on social media for causing damage offline. If companies are found to have fallen short of these standards then the regulator could fine the company a"substantial" amount, block the sites from being accessed within the UK, or even make individual members of senior management legally liable.

"This could fund the full range of the regulator's activity, including setting and enforcing codes of practice, preparing transparency reports, and any education and awareness activities by the regulator." "We would, however, urge the government to go further and focus on how platforms can best be taxed to help fund offline action on the root causes of these harms."

Social media is a threat to the constant lies spouted by our political puppets and media.

It’s like living in China
