The NSPCC has launched a campaign calling on Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to bring in a new law to keep children safe online.
The #WildWestWeb campaign is calling for: an independent regulator for social networks; a mandatory code which introduces safe accounts for children, grooming alerts using algorithms, and fast-tracking of reports to moderators which relate to child safety; and mandatory transparency reports making social media networks to disclose how many safety reports they get and how they deal with them.
