Extract from committee stage (Lords) (day 7) of the Online Safety Bill - May 16
Wednesday, 17 May 2023 08:01
Baroness Merron (Lab):...To return to the issue of women and girls,
two-thirds of women who report abuse to internet companies do not
feel heard. Three-quarters of women change their behaviour after
receiving online abuse. I absolutely agree with the noble Baroness,
Lady Kidron, who made the point that the Bill currently assumes
that there is no interconnection between different safety duties
where somebody has more than one protected characteristic, because
it misses reality....Request free trial
