U.K. Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries warned Facebook Inc. and its chiefs are on course for criminal prosecution for failing to reign in the harmful effects of its platform.
“Why would we give them two years to change what they can change today?” said Dorries. “Remove your harmful algorithms today and you will not be subjected -- named individuals -- to criminal liability and prosecution.”
