We have no specific plans to analyse the potential effect of videos demonstrating skin bleaching.

However, as part of the work on the Digital Charter, we are considering a range of options to counter internet harms. This includes an Internet Safety Strategy, published on 11 October, which considers the responsibilities of companies to their users, the use of technical solutions to prevent online harms and government's role in supporting users.
