Title: Tech bosses could face jail after Tory MPs revolt on bill
Post by: Nearly Sane on January 17, 2023, 01:07:05 PM

'Under a further change to the bill, video footage that shows people crossing the Channel in small boats in a “positive light” will be added to a list of illegal content that all tech platforms must proactively prevent from reaching users.'
