Hate crime and its violent consequences inquiry

Inquiry

The Home Affairs Committee has strongly criticised social media companies for failing to take down and take sufficiently seriously illegal content – saying they are "shamefully far" from taking sufficient action to tackle hate and dangerous content on their sites.

The Home Affairs Committee carried out an inquiry into hate crime and its consequences. This includes hate crime motivated by extremism and actions carried out by fixated individuals ("lone wolves").
