Priti Patel to push tech giants to ban 'legal but harmful' content
Home Secretary is looking to amend the draft Online Safety Bill to increase the liability of internet giants
Priti Patel is preparing to go to war with big tech companies as she pushes for them to ban "legal but harmful" content generated by users.
The Home Secretary is looking to amend the wide-ranging draft Online Safety Bill - which seeks to protect children using the internet - to argue that the liability of internet giants should be increased.
Facebook and Google would be among the companies covered by new liabilities, as Ms Patel seeks to clamp down on issues including fraud and radicalisation.

Using pixelation to redact images? Those pixels may not actually be hiding anything.
A researcher has demonstrated how he was able to successfully recover text that had been redacted using the pixelation technique. Further, the researcher has released a GitHub tool that can be used by anyone to reconstruct text from obscure, pixelated images.

So what happens if the non-UK press names the individual? Will the individual be able to get the report de-indexed by Google in the UK? And won’t it be too late anyway once their name gets out?
We have seen inter-nation differences before — as when Germany prohibited publication of the names of murderers who had served their time and who had new identities — but this is a different issue: whether someone just suspected of a crime has a right to privacy. So for now, we know they do have more rights in the U.K. than in the U.S., where we may see reports of individuals being suspected or investigated but they have not yet been charged.
I still don’t get it.

Reuters Legal News is Free to Access and Now Customizable to Your Interests
LawSites: “Over the past two years, Reuters, the news and media division of Thomson Reuters, has been beefing up its coverage of legal news, bringing on the former editor-in-chief of Law.com to lead legal news, hiring several well-known legal-industry commentators as columnists, and increasing its hiring of legal news editors and reporters. One result of this activity was Westlaw Today, a premium legal news service launched in July 2020 that is fueled Reuters news and available only to subscribers of Westlaw and Westlaw Edge for an additional cost. However, Reuters has also significantly enhanced legal news coverage on its public-facing site — coverage it somewhat quietly launched last year — and all of that reporting and commentary is freely available to readers with no subscription required. Plus, the public site includes insights and analysis from Westlaw, Practical Law, Peer Monitor and the Thomson Reuters Institute, as well as thought leadership submitted by outside authors. Even better, this week Reuters enhanced its site with customization, adding a “My View” feature that allows readers to set personal preferences for the types of news they wish to follow…”
