Disinformation will be one of the harms addressed in the forthcoming Online Harms White Paper, which will set out legislative and non-legislative measures to ensure platforms take adequate steps to protect their users. We are considering all options available to us.<\/p>
<\/p>
As the White Paper is finalised, we continue to have regular and robust dialogue with these companies on their progress to tackle this critical issue.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are also working across academia, civil society and internationally to expose and build resilience to disinformation.

Discussions with all partner countries have demonstrated a commitment to finding a pragmatic way to ensure continuity of our existing international agreements. As part of the Withdrawal Agreement, the EU agreed to notify its treaty partners that the UK be treated as a Member State for the purposes of EU international agreements during the Implementation Period (IP). This includes trade agreements.<\/p>

We are making good progress and have signed agreements with partner countries, such as Chile, the Faroe Islands and Eastern and Southern African Economic Partnership Agreement states, with others soon to follow. When we reach agreement with other countries will depend on the progress of ongoing discussions, taking into account their assessment of the possibility of a no deal; their own political or parliamentary situation; resource constraints and other factors.
