Petition Action

Deliver an Online Safety Bill that keeps children safe from abuse online.

Petition Details

make the tech companies work together to tackle the way grooming and abuse can spread online.
In the Online Safety Bill, we need to see the regulator,Ofcom,require companies to proactively share information about offenders,threats to children’s safety, or new features that could lead to child abuse

Additional Information

In the past, kids could ride a car without a seatbelt,but the government changed the law to protect them.Why should their safety be any different online?Children use many apps every day to socialise and play games.But,so do abusers who easily friend & follow them,trace them from app to app.The Online Safety Bill should make tech companies responsible for spotting risks to kids safety on their platforms. Companies that don’t do this should be subject to fines and SNR managers be held accountable.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Your petition suggests requiring making tech companies work together and proactively share information about threats to children's online safety, but it's not clear what this would look like in practice. The draft Online Safety Bill would already require relevant online service providers to conduct risk assessments to identify potential risks to children arising from content hosted on their platforms.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
