    Under the new rules, tech firms will be legally required to hunt down and remove self-harm material using “cutting-edge technology” to see out self-harm content before it can reach users. This shift is designed to change moderation from a reactive approach to a proactive one, compelling companies to prevent harm, not just respond to it. The Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said that these new requirements are “not an option, but the law.”
