Changes to online safety bill no longer force platforms to remove legal but harmful content

Best of Today - Ein Podcast von BBC Radio 4

Today the government published the latest version of the Online Harms Bill. Companies could face huge fines if they don't ban under age children, but ministers have dropped plans for restrictions on content described as legal but harmful. Instead, because of concerns about freedom of speech, people can filter out that kind of content for themselves. Today’s Martha Kearney spoke to Molly Russell’s father, Ian Russell, and Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan about the changes. (IMAGE CREDIT: Dominic Lipinski/PA Wire)
