Top leaders from G7 nations today signed an agreement over proposed new tech laws aimed at curbing the power of Big Tech and improving safety on online platforms.
Politicians from the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the US and the EU signed a declaration outlining a series of shared principles on how to tighten tech rules.
These included the need for tech companies to have systems and processes in place to reduce illegal and harmful activity and prioritise child safety, as well as a more coordinated approach to regulation and cracking down on anti-competitive behaviour.
