Britain’s government has announced new plans to regulate Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok
: Britain’s government has announced new plans to regulate likes of Facebook, Twitter and TikTok and ensure that internet firms take responsibility for protecting their users—particularly young ones—from harmful or illegal content.
This means that internet firms will be expected to remove illegal content swiftly, and minimise the chances of it appearing in the first place. Home Secretary Priti Patel said: “It is incumbent on tech firms to balance issues of privacy and technological advances with child protection.”
