The British government has unveiled its online safety bill in Parliament, which is aimed at protecting internet users from harm.

FILE - In this Sept. 28, 2020 file photo, a view of the TikTok app logo, in Tokyo. Senior managers at tech companies face up to two years in prison if they fail to comply with new British laws aimed at ensuring online safety for internet users, the U.K. government said Thursday as it unveiled the draft legislation in Parliament.

Authorities in the United Kingdom are the vanguard of a global movement to rein in the power of tech platforms and make them more responsible for harmful material such as child sex abuse, racist content, bullying, fraud and other harmful material that proliferates on their platforms. Similar efforts are underway in the European Union and United States.

There’s also a wider range of criminal offenses that could result in prison sentences of up to two years in the updated draft.
