What about men & boys eh ? Funny how sexism is fine in some cases.
It appears the focus is on females due to this:

Quote:
Women are less likely than men to think that the benefits of the online world outweigh the risks (65% vs 70%) and are less likely to believe that the internet is a good thing for society (34% vs. 47%). Women and teenage girls are also more likely than men and teenage boys to report being negatively impacted by the harms they experience online (24% and 29% vs 11% and 19% respectively) (24% vs 11%). The same pattern is seen when comparing adult women (29%) and adult men (19%). Source: Ofcom Online Experiences tracker.
Ofcom are inviting feedback:

We are now inviting feedback on our draft Guidance, as well as further evidence on any additional measures that could be included to address harms that disproportionately affect women and girls. Responses must be submitted by 23 May 2025. Once we have examined all responses, we will publish a statement with our decisions, along with final guidance, later this year.
