UK to introduce law to fine tech companies

Many countries are currently looking for methods with which to regulate and control technology companies, such as Google or Facebook, among others. The UK is already working on a new law, which could be passed in parliament shortly. Since it seems it has the support of the majority in it. Due to this law these companies will be fined.

They would be fines in cases of child pornography, spread of fake news, terrorism propaganda, and other particular cases. They seek to reduce the expansion of this type of content in this regard.

Fine for companies in the United Kingdom

Some consumer organizations in the UK have launched calls for a law to be introduced in this regard. Something that seems to have happened, since various political parties in the country have taken these requests to create this bill. At the moment it is not known when the vote will be on it. Although it is already well advanced, so it should be soon.

Theresa May herself has already declared herself in favor of this new law. It seems that his party agrees and that other parties are also going to vote favorably. So it shouldn't take too long to be official.

We will probably see how other countries soon follow the United Kingdom. More stringent laws are being seen for technology companies. Since in many cases it is seen that they do not do everything they could. We don't know how much money the fines could be in this case. But they promise to be millionaires.
