Tom
Watson, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and
Sport, commenting
on the Government’s Internet Safety Strategy, said:
“Everyone
agrees on the need to deal with abusive and harmful content online. Parents
worry about what their children see on the internet, and too many people
experience cyberbullying and online intimidation.
“We’re
pleased the Government has accepted Labour’s call for compulsory sex and
relationship education in schools, including online safety education, as well
as for codes of practice for social media companies to prevent abuse.
“But this
announcement is short on detail. The Government needs to say more about who
exactly will pay the proposed levy, how much they will pay and how it will be
spent. And they need to explain what transparency information they will be
asking social media companies to provide.”
