AIUI, as it stands and subject to parlimentary scrutiny and amendments by both houses, it will be site owners (who may delegate their obligations/duties/powers etc to admin/moderators) after guidance/procedural directions from Ofcom.
If anyone is unhappy about what is/isn't done as a result of this process, they can contact Ofcom whose decision is expected to be final. If their instructions are not complied with, there are a range of measures/sanctions that can be applied such as heavy fines, imprisonment etc.

It's not just individuals who can be guilty of trolling, harrassment etc, sometimes it's organisations or overseas Governments who seek to do it to journalists: successful Asian women etc:
