Internet: Disinformation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle misinformation online.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
This issue is, rightly, of huge concern. The Online Safety Act is already protecting users from illegal dis- and misinformation online, including foreign interference.
We are already taking further action, including launching a campaign to support children’s resilience to misinformation.
Where we need to take further action, especially to protect UK democratic processes, we will.
