Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

What steps he plans to take to ensure that social media companies tackle online bullying on their platforms.

We are committed to making the UK the safest place in the world for users to be online. In October last year we published the Internet Safety Strategy green paper. This sets out a range of measures which will ensure social media companies tackle online bullying.

We will also be introducing a social media code of practice, which will address conduct that involves bullying or insulting an individual online, or other behaviour likely to intimidate or humiliate.
