Canada has introduced a new bill that aims to combat online abuse with steep penalties for hate crimes including life in prison for inciting genocide.
The proposed Online Harms Act requires social media platforms to remove posts, such as those which sexualise children, within 24 hours.
The law would regulate social media companies, live streaming platforms and user-uploaded adult content websites.
The bill still needs to be voted on by Canada's Parliament.
