Very strong words ahead of expected social media ban from @mollyroseorg -
Ian Russell tells us govt is rushing in a blanket ban, rather than more sophisticated controls, under political pressure, in a 'deplorable way'

Don’t miss Molly Vs The Machines, streaming Thursday 5th March on @Channel4.
This powerful documentary tells Molly’s story and exposes how harmful content reaches young people online.

This is a welcome downpayment but the Prime Minister must now go further.
@Keir_Starmer should commit to a new #OnlineSafetyAct that strengthens regulation and makes clear that product safety and children’s wellbeing is the cost of doing business in the UK.
No platform gets a free pass when it comes to children’s safety online 🤳💻
@Keir_Starmer and @leicesterliz have set out new powers to move faster as technology changes - and tougher action on AI chatbots sharing illegal content.
ALT Government to move fast with new measures to better protect children online
Gareth Hill retweeted
Last night we launched our five-point plan to deliver bold and comprehensive protections to children online.
Government must listen to the voices of parents demanding change and act swiftly to strengthen and build on regulation without delay.

As we issue a public warning about the extent of harm posed by Com groups it is crucial Government fixes and strengthens the #OnlineSafetyAct to deal with this pervasive threat.

"I see a ban as just moving the harm, young people will still be accessing these places online," Paddy Crump tells #PoliticsLive
Young people will still use platforms like "online gaming" and forums, the mental health and digital rights campaigner adds

Join us in urging Ofcom to do all it can to close down a pro-suicide forum that is continuing to take young lives in the UK.
Write to the regulator using the template below.

'Ofcom have repeatedly demonstrated that they don’t grasp the urgency of this task and they have shown that they don’t seem to be willing to use their powers to the extent that is required.'
Ian Russell looses faith in online safety regulator.

UPDATE: @Ofcom now digging themselves further in knots, saying they acted on ‘new evidence’ that, if they were monitoring the forum properly, they’d have known was being bragged about on the forum all along.
This is now raising serious questions about their competency.
On @SkyNews our CEO @_andyburrows says Ofcom must now use all the tools at their disposal to crack down on a pro-suicide forum.
It comes after families said they were appalled and dismayed at Ofcom's handling of its investigation.
Gareth Hill retweeted
We welcome Ofcom's decision to continue its investigation into a pro-suicide forum.
But there are questions as to why Ofcom has delayed taking action on multiple breaches of the law and why it takes bereaved families to have forced the regulator’s hand.
