The Prime Minister is set to accept the demands of party rebels to make directors at major technology firms liable to greater penalties if they fail to protect children from dangerous online content. This is in the face of a planned rebellion from within his ruling Conservative Party, with about 50 Tory lawmakers supporting an amendment designed to toughen the Online Safety Bill. The legislation sets out new powers that will let Ofcom fine or sanction tech companies if they don’t follow new rules aimed at protecting people online.
