Parliament should penalize companies like Google and Facebook if they fail to identify and control “undesirable or questionable” content on the internet, according to a House of Commons heritage committee report.
The November 2024 report included a recommendation that social media platforms put in place mechanisms to detect content that may be the product of disinformation or foreign interference. The report said the platforms should be required to “promptly identify such content and report it to users” and that a failure to do so “should result in penalties,” as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
