2024-11-11 · Parliament 14
Questions focused on how social media accelerates youth radicalisation, AI's role in radicalisation over the next five years, and the response plan.

It uses legislation and cross-agency coordination — blocking extremist content and community outreach — as a combined response. The core debate: the technology-driven acceleration of radicalisation and the difficulty of content regulation.
