Online Safety Bill

The Online Safety Bill is a proposed UK law aimed at making the internet safer, particularly for children and vulnerable users. It requires technology companies to take responsibility for the content on their platforms, ensuring they take action against harmful material like hate speech, abuse, and misinformation. The bill enforces stricter regulations on social media and video-sharing platforms, compelling them to protect users and enhance transparency. It also includes measures to hold companies accountable, with the potential for fines if they fail to comply with safety standards, ultimately striving to create a healthier online environment.
