Five Things You Shouldn’t Have Missed – 22 December 2017

Twitter updated its policies around hate speech, which led to the almost-immediate removal of the extremist Britain First account along with its leader and deputy.

Twitter, Facebook and Google were also called in front of the Home Affairs Committee this week, for an investigation into online abuse and its links to violence. They were accused of not taking it seriously enough.
