Require online platforms to remove misinformation targeting bereaved families

Summary

Introduce Jay’s Law: specific legislation obliging platforms to remove organised misinformation that targets grieving families after tragic deaths; require platforms to act on speculative, malicious content likely to cause serious harm; and work with Ofcom on enforcement and sanctions. Families who have suffered tragic deaths are being subjected to organised misinformation and malicious speculation online. This targets grieving families at their most vulnerable, causing severe additional trauma, distress, and emotional pain. Jay’s Law would place clear legal duties on platforms, backed by Ofcom enforcement and sanctions, to ensure all speculative, organised, and malicious content is swiftly removed, protecting grieving families’ privacy, dignity, and safety.
