The Home Office announced proposed measures to hold senior technology executives personally liable for the advertisement of illegal knives and glorifying violence on their platforms. These measures aim to combat the concerning epidemic of knife crime that has devastated families and communities, reflecting the urgent need for accountability among social media companies in preventing the circulation of illegal weaponry online.
Under these proposed plans, police will have the authority to issue notices directly to senior executives of online companies, demanding removal of specific illegal content. If the companies fail to act within a designated timeframe, executives could face significant fines, underscoring the serious nature of the government's commitment to tackling the proliferation of online content that encourages violence.
