Produce and enforce a zero-tolerance strategy to end racism on social media: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/591720

Require social media platforms’ terms of use to prohibit racism and hate speech: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/591760

Decisions about prosecuting individuals for any offences relating to online abuse would be a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons.
