Re: Online Safety Bill

I totally agree, but in the real world people do have them despite having those attitudes. These children need protecting from harm too.

A disabled little boy called Zach with epilepsy met the Prime Minister today. He had been featured in a fundraising for charity which was shared online and was targeted by Internet trolls who deliberately
posted abuse and gifs & videos designed to induce dangerous seizures in anyone with epilepsy.

Zach has been given an award in recognition of his fight to help to change the law to outlaw this sort of behaviour.
