The Online Safety Bill is will protect children and adults by making social media companies more responsible for their users’ safety on their platforms.

Some content that children and adults encounter online is already illegal. The Bill will force social media platforms to remove all illegal content, stopping children from seeing it.

The Bill is also bringing in new offences, including making content that promotes self harm illegal for the first time.

This is not just about removing existing illegal content, it is also about stopping it from appearing at all. Platforms will need to think about how they design their sites to reduce the likelihood of them being used for criminal activity in the first place.

I am pleased to support this legislation as we strive to make the internet safer for everyone.
