Seems like compliance with this would NOT mean: ‘platforms should take down anything they believe to be vaguely plausibly illegal under these definitions’ (which could end up being either WAY too wide or WAY too narrow, or both)

UK MPs propose changes to the UK's Online Safety Bill, including adding more offenses and fines, mandating tech firms appoint a “safety controller”, and more

New criminal offences and major changes have been proposed in the UK's landmark Online Safety Bill, which seeks to regulate social media and tech giants.

Which is good - not platforms being the police by proxy, but platforms taking measures to reduce harms which the law also generally tries to tackle. Likely there will be some gaps in what harms are tackled - e.g. dis/misinformation, which is very much not all ‘knowingly false’ https://twitter.com/...

Disinfo was a big gap in the draft Bill: really glad to see it making a comeback here. Most notably, ads coming into scope - ad fraud has been a big omission so far to the safety regime. Ofcom should be: https://twitter.com/...

This seems an elegant way to thread the needle between ‘requiring platforms to decide what content is illegal and legal’ (which would be Very Bad) and ‘requiring platforms to take down loads of legal content’

["We recommend that Clause 11 of the draft Bill is removed"] Clause 11 is the famous ‘legal but harmful’ duties that have proved somewhat controversial. This looks to introduce duties to mitigate foreseeable risks of harm, linked to other laws that are taken as reasons to interfere with speech rights

but rather *risk mitigation* - moderation, transparency, fact-checking, user controls: all the good things and tools that platforms should be using - with which harms are mitigated being defined by things which are recognised as harmful in criminal law
