The Government has removed protections for health misinformation from the OnlineSafetyBill. We're calling on MPs to challenge this.
But those protections have now been stripped from the Bill, and almost all of the harmful health misinformation and disinformation that occurs online will not be covered by the new rules.
The Government’s new approach for harms to adults gives platforms free rein on the types of harmful content they have to address in their terms of service. They believe this will protect freedom of speech online, as the proposals ask companies to be consistent in dealing with content that is in breach of their terms of service. Platforms will also need to provide newBut Full Fact doesn’t think this will work in practice.
We could very well see a ‘race to the bottom’ on the terms of service as platforms seek to give themselves maximum flexibility to minimise their risk of breaching the new law. This could see harmful misinformation flouris and all of us exposed to harm.
