"Khan stated, "We're right to expect big tech to do better but we should not rely on it. If platforms fail to act, the state must have the tools to make them.""
"He emphasized, "We need a new central body with the agility and authority to protect our democracy from disinformation, and deal with the scale and speed of this crisis.""
Sadiq Khan has urged ministers to take stronger measures against social media companies that disseminate disinformation regarding crime rates and integration in London. He highlighted a significant increase in hostile online narratives, with a 150% to 200% rise in claims about London's danger and a 350% increase in migration-related content. Khan emphasized the need for a new central body to combat disinformation and called for more robust enforcement of existing regulations to protect democracy and prevent domestic terrorism linked to conspiracy theories.
