Welcome to the recording of our “Online harms: Social media giants under the spotlight” webinar first published Friday 14 February. The Online Harms White Paper was launched in April 2019 aiming to create a culture of transparency, trust and accountability. Consultation closed on 1 July 2019 and the government (now with an unassailable majority) intends to introduce the legislation as soon as possible in 2020.
