Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.

Ofcom have been chosen to be the regulator that will deal with online bullying etc. They have reiterated that they intend to make accessing the internet in the UK the safest place in the world:

This follows numerous failed attempts to make websites self regulatory, eg not doing enough to prevent harassment/bullying in the first place, or failing to take down offensive material quickly enough or at all.

Seyi Akiwowo welcomed the 'Online Harms Bill' after setting up the online abuse awareness group 'Glitch' following sexist and racist harassment online.
