Online Abuse

Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 April 2019. It occurred during e-petition debate on Online Abuse.

The Minister is being generous. The only danger with introducing such statistics, which all the social media companies are desperate to put into our hands, is that it creates the impression that somehow they are doing enough when they are not. We will never get to a solution to this problem by relying on voluntary action. That is why the law needs to change, and enforcement needs to change.
