Internet sites could be fined or blocked if they fail to tackle "online harms" such as terrorist propaganda and child abuse, under government plans.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has proposed an independent watchdog that will write a "code of practice" for tech companies.
Senior managers could be held liable for breaches, with a possible levy on the industry to fund the regulator.
But critics say the plans threaten freedom of speech.
The Online Harms White Paper is a joint proposal from the DCMS and the Home Office. A public consultation on the plans will run for 12 weeks.
The paper suggests:
establishing an independent regulator that can write a "code of practice" for social networks and internet companies
giving the regulator enforcement powers including the ability to fine companies that break the rules
considering additional enforcement powers such as the ability to fine company executives and force internet service providers to block sites that break the rules
Outlining the proposals, Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Jeremy Wright said: "The era of self-regulation for online companies is over.
"Voluntary actions from industry to tackle online harms have not been applied consistently or gone far enough."
Discussing financial penalties on BBC Breakfast, he said: "If you look at the fines available to the Information Commissioner around the GDPR rules, that could be up to 4% of company's turnover… we think we should be looking at something comparable here."
What are 'online harms'?
The plans cover a range of issues that are clearly defined in law such as spreading terrorist content, child sex abuse, so-called revenge pornography, hate crimes, harassment and the sale of illegal goods.
But it also covers harmful behaviour that has a less clear legal definition such as cyber-bullying, trolling and the spread of fake news and disinformation.
It says social networks must tackle material that advocates self-harm and suicide, which became a prominent issue after 14-year-old Molly Russell took her own life in 2017.
After she died her family found distressing material about depression and suicide on her Instagram account. Molly's father holds the social media giant partly responsible for her death.

Fucking nignogs come into our countries because their's are putrid sewers and ours offer the best quqlity of life, they then join the Jew in complaining about us. Time for us to leave and go to hungary.
It's always about protecting "muh innocint chilrin" to normalfag legislators.

Use Tor and/or VPN. Or find other proxy services/networks and share stuff via decentralized p2p networks.
nothing is on tor. can't see anything
they're not. the elite are very happy. you focusing on the immigrant is stupid. that's like hating an immigrant for robbing you when he was paid to do it by a handler, and you have no problem with the handler.
isn't that the whole idea of the censorship? also typical muslim country behavior, so nothing to see in here..
