<p>We are clear that the online racist abuse is unacceptable. We must do all we can
to tackle it. We are taking steps through the online harms regulatory framework to
ensure that online abuse is addressed. Under a new legal duty of care, companies will
need to remove and limit the spread of illegal content, including illegal online abuse.
All companies will need to take swift and effective action against such content.</p><p>Companies
providing high-risk, high-reach services will also need to undertake regular risk
assessments to identify legal but harmful material on their services. These companies
will need to set clear terms and conditions which explicitly state what categories
of legal but harmful material they accept (and do not accept) on their service. Companies
will need to enforce these terms and conditions consistently and transparently and
could face enforcement action if they do not. The Online Safety Bill, which will give
effect to the regulatory framework, will be ready this year.</p><p> </p>
