Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 2: Desmond Choo on regulatory levers to deal with online harms
The Internet has been “abused” to spread harmful content such as COVID-19 misinformation and perpetrate online scams. Meanwhile, platforms - being profit-driven entities - may not prioritise the public interest. MP Desmond Choo made these points in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 3). He said the Government had signalled its intention to review the feasibility of regulatory levers to enable it to deal with online harms, and asked for an update on the progress and likely timeline.
