answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In April we published the Online Harms White Paper, which set out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. We intend to establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent regulator. <br> <br> Alongside the White Paper, Government published the Social Media Code of Practice. This voluntary guidance sets out actions that the Government believes social media platforms should take to prevent bullying, insulting, intimidating and humiliating behaviours on their sites. The Code is also relevant to other sites hosting user-generated content and comments. We are aware that many social media companies meet the standards set out in the Code of Practice, although Government does not actively monitor this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 08/10/2019 12:36:46 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
