<p>Under the Online Safety Bill, all social media companies subject to the safety
duties will be forced to take measures to remove illegal content online that is in
scope of the Bill, including illegal misinformation and disinformation once they become
aware of it. In addition, if a social media platform is likely to be accessed by children,
they will have to protect them from a wide range of harmful content including misinformation
and disinformation.</p><p>We are already working closely with the major social media
platforms to encourage them to cooperate at speed to swiftly remove disinformation
and coordinated inauthentic or manipulated behaviour, as per their Terms of Service.</p><p>
