⏯️ 'The system they've built is one that is perfect for the dissemination of misinformation', @Imi_Ahmed @CCDHate tells Chair @DamianCollins

⏯️ The 'Disinformation Dozen' super-spreaders still have 7.9 million followers according to @CCDHate research, @Imi_Ahmed tells @DarrenPJones

In response to Baroness Kidron, @Imi_Ahmed says platforms have been told - by civil society, by governments, by their own employees - about online harms, yet have done little about them, citing @sheeraf and @ceciliakang's new book, 'An Ugly Truth' 📘

@DamianCollins: 'Are you concerned that the prevalence of dehumanising language on social media is giving licence to racists to act in a concerted way?'

@RioFerdy5: '100%. I think this is normalising racist behaviour.'

@SanjayKickItOut @KickItOut tells Lord Gilbert of Panteg that @Ofcom needs the power to regulate legal but harmful content, citing the example of abuse after the #Euro2020 final ⚽

In response to @Dean4Watford, @DannyStone1 @antisempolicy calls for the #OnlineSafetyBill to make platforms liable if they can't prove who is responsible for abuse. @Nancy_M_K @StonewallUK says it's possible to regulate abusive behaviour without knowing the ID of an account 🔎
