Discrimination: Social Media
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps the Government is taking to help tackle misogyny on social media platforms.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
The Online Safety Act requires services to protect all users from illegal misogynistic content, and children from harmful misogynistic content including content which is violent, hateful or abusive.
The largest services (category 1) will also need to remove misogynistic content prohibited in their terms of service and have effective, accessible mechanisms to report abuse.
