At a press conference held at Downing Street after a meeting with police chiefs, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer lays out plans to better target known far-right agitators, including wider deployment of facial recognition technology and criminal behavior orders to restrict their movement. He also warns social media commpanies that they must uphold laws around spreading incendiary misinformation, following unrest blamed on the sharing of unverified details about the Southport knife attack. "It's also a crime and it's happening on your premises," Starmer said of the proliferation of misinformation "whipped up online", which helped spark two nights of violence in English towns and cities after Monday's stabbings.
