There is a real problem here to be solved.

Whenever I speak to someone who's planning to vote Reform (UK hard-right party) their views are primarily shaped by seeing AI slop videos on TikTok/Instagram, showing immigrants doing crimes etc etc

Reform will probably win the next election because of this, unless we find a way to make platforms manage the situation.

The simplest cure, even though it is US law but would also benefit the UK, would be to repeal Section 230 safe-harbors when the platform uses an algorithm to curate content. If they are covered by the "safe harbor" then they are not responsible for the content. Otherwise, they'd be liable for libel/defamation/conspiracy stuff.

A "safe harbor" is a section of the law where they basically say "as long as you do X, those other laws won't apply". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_harbor_(law)#
