The Government tech boss said on this mornings 'Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg' that it was a privilege and not a right for websites to do business with the UK and that to do so, they must follow our rules.

Would you call the children who have committed suicide as a result of harrassment/abuse/bullying/malicious etc posts 'snowflakes'?

Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly took her own life because of this, wants the existing measures to primarily protect children and vulnerable people to be strengthened.

Unless other serious laws were broken, you and others
wouldn't be penalised as penalties will be directed at website owners/managers.
