James Bulger's mum seeks AI law to curb clips of murder victims

There were plans to include measures to force social media companies to remove some "legal-but-harmful" content in the Online Safety Act, before it became law. But the proposals were scrapped over censorship concerns. Online safety campaigners argue the rules around removing harmful content needed tightening to close loopholes in the act. In January this year, Technology Secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC he had "inherited an unsatisfactory legislative settlement" in the Online Safety Act. "I'm very open-minded and I've said publicly, I think we'll have to legislate into the future again," Kyle said.
