The government is defeated by peers who want to stop social media algorithms causing harm.

Peers have targeted tech firm algorithms they say push boys to content by misogynist influencer Andrew Tate, as they defeated the government over changes to the Online Safety Bill.

The bill, which is in the latter stages of its journey to becoming law, seeks to regulate providers of user-to-user services such as social media companies, and search engines in order to protect users from "harmful" and illegal content. "To push hundreds of thousands of children towards Andrew Tate for no reason other than to benefit commercially from the network effect is a travesty for children and it undermines parents."
