VTV.vn - The UK Government on Monday unveiled tough new measures to ensure the UK is the safest place in the world to be online.

In the first online safety laws of their kind, social media companies and tech firms will be legally required to protect their users and face tough penalties if they do not comply. A range of harms will be tackled, including inciting violence and violent content, encouraging suicide, disinformation, cyber bullying and children accessing inappropriate material. Online safety has been a prominent issue in the UK since a 14-year-old girl took her own life in 2017.
