<p>The Online Harms White Paper set out the Government's plans for world-leading legislation
to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. We intend to establish
a new statutory duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent
regulator, to ensure companies have appropriate processes in place to deal with harmful
content on their service, and keep their users safe. Disinformation is one of the
harms proposed to be in scope of the regulator.</p><p> </p><p>The White Paper also
set out a commitment for Government to develop a new online Media Literacy Strategy.
The strategy will help citizens to think critically about the content that they are
consuming, and to better identify disinformation online.</p>
