Boris Johnson promises 'tough' crackdown on online abuse and extremism – video

The prime minister also said the bill would include criminal sanctions for allowing ‘foul content’ online

Boris Johnson has promised to present the delayed online harms bill to parliament before Christmas after the killing of David Amess.

He made his comments after Keir Starmer urged him to work collaboratively in clamping down on web-based extremism.

Johnson also appeared to agree to another of Starmer’s requests, that the bill would include a commitment to possible criminal sanctions against tech company bosses who do not do enough to remove harmful or illegal content.
