Internet: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will work with technology companies to increase online safety.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Government is committed to ensuring that the internet, and social media in particular, is safe for UK users, especially children. Whilst technology companies have a key role in accelerating innovation, investment and productivity across the UK, they must also accept their responsibility to keep people safe on their platforms. I engage frequently with those companies and I am committed to working with them as we continue to implement the Online Safety Act.
