Three young girls lost their lives in a horrific attack in Southport, England. The attacker, Axel Rudakubana, was found to have viewed violent material, including an al-Qaeda training manual and a graphic knife attack video, before carrying out the murders. Now, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle are urging tech companies to take action and remove such dangerous content from their platforms. The new Online Safety Act, which comes into effect in March, will require companies to remove illegal content, including violent material. However, the ministers insist that tech giants have a "moral responsibility" to act now and prevent potential future atrocities.
