Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will formally request that Google and other online platforms prevent the monetisation of extreme and divisive far-right content, such as that of Danny Tommo.

Under the Online Safety Act, platforms must tackle illegal content, including terrorist content and race- or religion-based hatred, and protect children from harmful content such as hate or abuse.

DCMS has committed to go further to tackle the monetisation of harmful content. Under the government's social cohesion strategy, Protecting What Matters, we are engaging with cross sector experts, whilst working through the Online Advertising Taskforce to develop options for reducing inadvertent monetisation of hateful or otherwise harmful advertising.
