to address legal but harmful content for adults. These companies will have to set
out clearly what legal content is acceptable on their platforms and enforce their
terms and conditions consistently and transparently.</p><p>If platforms fail in their

up to 10% of global annual qualifying turnover.</p><p>Ministers have regular meetings
