The minister in charge of the new law regulating behaviour online has told social media bosses to “remove your harmful algorithms today” - or face swift criminal prosecution
in last month's reshuffle, also confirmed that the bill would use an expansive definition of online harm, up to and including"psychological harm" caused by abuse.
Ms Dorries said she believed the definition was"quite clear", saying:"If it causes physical or psychological injury then, of course, it wouldn't be allowed." This tough talk from ministers will worry tech companies, which have been raising concerns about the details of the bill.
