On Thursday 19th October the Labour MP for Hove, Peter Kyle submitted a question that focussed on whether the Government has received written responses from all the social media companies and Michelle Donelan who is a Minister and the Conservative MP for Chippenham in Wiltshire answered his question. However so far 3 people have raised that they disagree with it. It would be interesting to find out from Peter if he would like to raise this theme when Parliament reopens? It would also be very interesting for all of us to respond on this theme, the question and answer can be seen below and it can be obtained here.

Peter Kyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she has received written responses from all the social media companies she met on 11 October 2023.

Michelle Donelan: The Government is continuing to work closely with social media companies to understand the policies and processes they have in place to prevent harmful and illegal content from being dispersed online, and their crisis management response.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is engaging with individual companies and will be keeping the approach under continual review.
