REUTERS/Toby Melville Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other web firms are likely to face new sanctions in the UK about hosting abusive content on their platforms. The government's ethics committee will recommend that prime minister Theresa May sues the web giants if they can't delete abusive posts in time, according to The Times. It isn't clear how much the firms might have to pay, but they are more widely under huge political pressure to keep paedophilic and terrorist content off their platforms. Prime minister Theresa May will be advised to sue Google, Facebook, Twitter, and other tech firms who don't delete abusive content, according to a report from The Times. Abusive could mean racist, sexist, terrorist, and other hateful posts. The government's ethics watchdog is due to publish a report on Wednesday making the recommendations.
