Call for help in battle against misinformation
MPs are calling for social media users to pass on examples of coronavirus misinformation they discover online.
Social media firms will be called in to Parliament after the extended Easter recess to explain what they are doing to combat the spread of false information.
Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee chairman Julian Knight said: "The deliberate spreading of false information about Covid-19 could have serious consequences.
"Much of this is happening on social media through private channels, putting the onus on friends and family to identify whether the information they are seeing is misleading.
"There have been some shocking examples in recent weeks and we want people to send us what they've come across.
"We will call in social media companies as soon as the House returns to explain what they're doing to deal with harmful content like this to help give people the reassurances they need at this difficult time.
"Tech giants who allow this to proliferate on their platforms are morally responsible for tackling disinformation and should face penalties if they don't."

"You may never be in such a position again where your simple actions will lead directly to saving lives."
The force said the checkpoints will be unannounced and could appear anywhere any time.
