Public Services

Proceeding contribution from Jim McMahon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 October 2019. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Public Services.

Does the right hon. Lady accept that some of this is cultural? It is still quite often the case that, when online harassment is reported to the police, the police will tell people to come off the platform on which they are being harassed. That is not about resource; that is a cultural issue within the police and it is about how the real world and the online world come together. We also need more regulations for platforms. It is not right that these platforms are allowed to, essentially, self-police and to decide for themselves what they believe is appropriate.
