uin	HL1286
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>The UK supports freedom of expression, both as a fundamental right and as an essential enabler of the full range of other human rights protected by UK and international law. The Online Harms White Paper, published in April 2019, outlines our proposals for a new duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent regulator. The regulator will have a responsibility to protect freedom of expression. Our approach will support more people to access their right to freedom of expression, by reducing the risk of being attacked on the basis of their identity. The counter-disinformation measures proposed in the White Paper are focused on protecting users from harm, not judging what is true or false.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 10/02/2020 11:20:24 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
