UK to fine tech companies that fail to remove self-harm material

Promoting suicide is already illegal, but Britain's digital, culture, media and sport ministry said in a statement that it now wanted to require social media firms to block a wider range of content.

The Conservative government said the proposals aimed to block images and videos similar to those viewed by Molly Russell, a 14-year-old whose death in 2017 sparked ongoing public concern.that social media platforms had fed content to her which "romanticised acts of self-harm by young people". Full details of the latest proposals - including the criminal penalties faced by people who promote self-harm, and the scale of fines faced by companies - will come next month when legislative amendments are put before parliament.

Increasing censorship rather than matching arguments with counter arguments? If social media is that dangerous it should be banned?

Should add racism to the list.
