'The era of social media firms regulating themselves is over' UK PM Theresa May, on proposed online safety laws meant to protect users from harmful content
Britain proposed new online safety laws on Monday that would slap penalties on social media companies and technology firms if they fail to protect users from harmful content.
"We are putting a legal duty of care on these companies to keep users safe; and if they fail to do so, tough punishments will be imposed," Prime Minister Theresa May said in a video posted online.Media Secretary Jeremy Wright said the proposed legislation - the toughest in the world - would apply to any company that allowed users to share or discover content or interact online, such as social media sites, discussion forums, messaging services and search engines.
"It is vital that the new framework is effective, proportionate and predictable," techUK said in a statement, adding that not all concerns could be addressed through regulation. May said that while the internet could be brilliant at connecting people, it had not done enough to protect users, especially children and young people.
