"The platform has also promised to restrict UK access to accounts operated by or on behalf of organisations proscribed under British terrorism law, and to engage external experts to overhaul a reporting flow that civil-society groups have repeatedly described as opaque."

"Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate said the commitments followed 'sustained campaigning' after last year's attack on Heaton Park Synagogue near Manchester."
