Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 April 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Online Safety Bill.


Online Safety Bill

I am very grateful to my right hon. Friend for giving way. The internet giants that run the kind of awful practices that she has described have for too long been unaccountable, uncaring and unconscionable in the way they have fuelled every kind of spite and fed every kind of bigotry. Will she go further in this Bill and ensure that, rather like any other publisher, if those companies are prepared to allow anonymous posts, they are held accountable for those posts and subject to the legal constraints that a broadcaster or newspaper would face?
