The prime minister spoke of 鈥渃riminal sanctions with tough sentences鈥 for those who added 鈥渇oul content鈥 on the internet.

Boris Johnson was replying to Sir Keir Starter who called for 鈥渢ough and effective sanctions鈥 and he wanted directors of companies to be criminally liable for failing to tackle hate material on their sites.
