answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The DCMS Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) works to understand the scope, scale and reach of disinformation in the UK and works with social media platforms to tackle it.</p><p>The Government regularly meets with a range of social media platforms to aid our understanding of the spread of misinformation and disinformation on their services, including new and emerging narratives, and the range of steps they are taking to address this. This work includes encouraging platforms to ensure that their Terms of Service (ToS), policies and enforcement are fit for purpose, whilst still respecting freedom of expression. The primary purpose of the team is not to spot every instance of disinformation across all social media platforms. However, when the team does identify particular pieces of harmful content which may violate platforms’ Terms of Service, these are referred to the relevant platform for consideration, who in turn decide what action to take.</p><p>Under the Online Safety Bill, all social media companies subject to the safety duties will be required to take measures to remove illegal misinformation and disinformation once they become aware of it. The Foreign Interference Offence, brought forward in the National Security Bill, will also be designated a priority offence requiring companies to take proactive action against state-sponsored disinformation that is of most concern.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 07/02/2023 16:59:13 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
