Regulatory body calls for swift action against online hatred and terrorism

The UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, has set out a series of commitments aimed at tackling hate and terror content on social media platforms, with a focus on swift and decisive action being taken to remove such material from online services. The new proposals were announced in response to recent crimes targeting Jewish communities in the UK, which have highlighted the need for greater action against online hate speech. According to Ofcom, these commitments are particularly important as they seek to address the growing threat of online extremism and terrorism in the country.
