Internet: Men
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department plans to introduce measures to protect men and boys online.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Online Safety Act requires all platforms to proactively tackle the most harmful illegal content, including illegal incitement to violence and sexual offences, including where these are targeted at men and boys.
Services must employ age-appropriate measures to protect all children from legal abusive and hateful content, including misandry.
Category 1 services will have extra duties where abuse is not illegal, requiring them to offer user empowerment tools, enabling all adult users greater control over their online experience. Category 1 services will also need to remove legal misandry content, when prohibited in their terms of service.
