The Government's new Online Safety Bill will help protect people online by introducing new criminal offences and extra measures to require social media platforms, search engines and other apps to clamp down on harmful and illegal content.
I enjoyed meeting with Google recently to understand their views on the Bill and discuss how internet regulation can protect us all, and particularly children, from all forms of online harms.
It was also great to highlight the importance of media literacy with local primary school pupils at the #BeInternetLegends assembly hosted by Google and Parent Zone last week. The session focuses on helping young people develop digital skills and understand the various ways we can act responsibly to keep safe and respect each other online.
