Online Safety Bill put on hold until new prime minister in place

May 25,2022 1:35 am

Plans for new internet safety laws have been put on hold until a new Prime Minister<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> is in place in The autumn.

The Online Safety<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> Bill is a bid to lay down rules in law about how platforms should deal with harmful content.

It had been in its final stages and was to be discussed in Parliament next week, But it will now be put on pause until MPs return from summer break.

A government source confirmed to The Bbc<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> that timetable pressures meant The Bill<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> is being rescheduled.

The Bill<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> is at report stage, which means MPs can discuss amendments. It was expected to clear The Commons<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> later this month before proceeding to The House<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> of Lords.

The Bill<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> 's aims are to:

The legislation largely puts The onus on The tech giants, like Meta - previously Facebook- and Google, to figure out how it would meet those aims. It also empowers Ofcom as a regulator to police whether they do a good enough job.

Firms that fail to comply with The new rules could face fines of up to £18m, or 10% of their annual global turnover, whichever is highest.

The Bill<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> also requires pornography websites to use age verification technology to stop children from accessing The Material<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> on their sites, and there will be a duty for The largest Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> platforms and Search Engines<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> to prevent fraudulent advertising.

A government source suggested Parliamentary time had been reduced because of The demand from The Labour Party<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> for a formal vote of no confidence in The government and The Prime Minister<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> .

Labour, which wants The PM to leave office immediately, had put forward a motion to hold a vote of no confidence in The Prime Minister<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> . a vote of no confidence in The government.

The government source said: " Parliamentary time got cut because of Labour's pointless motion.

" It was either The Northern Ireland<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> Protocol Bill or The Second<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> day of The Online Safety<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> Bill report stage that got dropped to allow Labour to have time to play politics.

" The Online Safety<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> Bill lost out. "

Ruth Smeeth<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , CEO of campaign group Index on Censorship and former Labour MP, welcomed The Bill<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> 's passage through Parliament being paused.

She Said<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> : " This is a fundamentally broken bill - The Next<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> Prime Minister<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> needs a total rethink.

" It would give tech executives like Nick Clegg<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> and Mark Zuckerberg<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> massive amounts of control over what we all can say online, would make The UK The First<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> democracy in The World<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> to break encrypted messaging apps, and it would make people who have experienced abuse online less safe by forcing platforms to delete vital evidence. "

The Bill<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> has been criticised by some, including Conservative ex-minister David Davis<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> who This Week<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> described it as " extraordinarily controversial" and called for it to be delayed.

A new Prime Minister<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> is expected to be announced on 5 September.
