Brianna Ghey's mother slams potential watering down of Online Safety Bill
Brianna Ghey 's mother, Esther Ghey, criticises the government 's Online Safety Bill for being potentially "watered down."
She expresses frustration that while the bill is being debated, young people are still being harmed and losing their lives due to online content.
Ms. Ghey advocates for stricter measures, including a ban on social media for children under 16, citing the harmful effects of online hate, misinformation, and dangerous challenges.
She highlights the lack of support when reporting harmful comments and the negative impact online interactions can have on children's empathy and understanding.
The government maintains that the Online Safety Act aims to protect children from harmful content and will not be part of negotiations.

Ofcom investigates notorious 4chan forum linked to mass shootings
A notorious online message board linked to mass shootings in the United States is facing an investigation by British officials. 4chan is to be investigated by Ofcom, Britain's tech regulator, under the Online Safety Act over the suspected spread of illegal online posts. The forum, which became known for its users' vociferous support for Donald Trump and has been blamed for radicalising mass shooters in the US, is one of nine websites that are the subject of new investigations by Ofcom. The regulator said it had received reports of 'illegal content and activity' being shared on 4chan, which had not responded to its requests for information. The Online Safety Act requires websites to take action against illegal online posts, such as terror content, inciting violence, racial hatred and extreme pornography. Originally launched in 2003 by American developer Christopher Poole, who is referred to by the online moniker 'moot', 4chan is known for its lack of moderation and has long been a byword for the extreme fringes of the internet. It is associated with hacker groups and the far Right. Anonymous members of 4chan's 'Politically Incorrect' forum were enthusiastic supporters of Mr Trump during his 2016 election campaign. 4chan users were also involved in spreading conspiracy theories such as QAnon and 'Pizzagate', which promoted unsubstantiated claims of a Democratic paedophile ring. The site was also the source of claims that Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and sex trafficker, had died, 40 minutes before the news broke in the US media. 4chan was blamed by New York's attorney general for 'radicalising' 18-year-old Payton Gendron, a mass shooter who killed 10 people in Buffalo in May 2022. A report alleged 4chan had been 'formative' in 'indoctrinating him into hateful, white supremacist internet subcultures'. The investigation into 4chan comes as Ofcom ramps up its enforcement of the Online Safety Act, which came into full effect in April this year. The law gives Ofcom the power to investigate websites for failing to do enough to block and remove illegal content. Offending websites can be fined up to 10pc of their turnover, or £18m. They can also be blocked from the UK, while senior managers can receive jail terms for repeated failings. Already, several fringe websites have pulled their services from the UK after facing regulatory scrutiny from Ofcom. Gab, a social network that had courted Right-wing commentators, message board site Kiwi Farms and YouTube rival Bitchute have all blocked UK visitors, accusing the Online Safety Act of interfering with free expression. Ofcom also opened investigations into eight other sites, including a pornography provider accused of failing to stop children accessing its websites and seven file-sharing websites that have allegedly failed to stop the spread of child sexual abuse material. Since 2015, 4chan has been owned by Japanese internet entrepreneur Hiroyuki Nishimura.

Labour has given up the fight to protect children online
The biggest risk to children online today isn't just the content – it's political complacency. The inertia after the cameras stop rolling is why Britain risks wasting the most powerful child protection framework we've ever had. The Online Safety Act was never intended to be the final word. It was the legal scaffolding for a safer digital world – the moment Britain declared that childhood should not be collateral damage in the age of algorithms. As the minister who rewrote and led the Act through Parliament, I knew we weren't solving everything overnight. This was always about laying a foundation that was designed to be layered upon and adapted as technology evolved. The test now isn't whether we passed a law. It's whether we're willing to finish what we started. Children are just a few clicks away from adulthood and from the worst corners of the internet. That's the digital reality. As a mum, I see the urgency of this every day. We are the first generation of parents dealing with these issues – trying to protect our children from risks that didn't exist when we were growing up. And yet too often, both tech companies and governments have treated online safety as an optional extra. I was driven to change that and in passing the Act, the UK became a global first-mover, not just on principle but on enforcement power. Ofcom now holds the regulatory pen. Yes, it's a sprawling regulator with too many hats but when it comes to online safety, it has the money, the mandate, the time, and the tools. Its recently published codes are a massive step forward but they remain cautious and overly corporate-friendly. It is time for Ofcom to wake up to the fact it needs to be visibly and unapologetically on the side of children, even when that makes the tech giants uncomfortable. But enforcement alone isn't enough. Legislation without political leadership is scaffolding without structure. And this is where the current Government is failing. The Act was designed to be layered upon – so why is this Government running away from such an important topic? It's ducking the next phase. It should be tackling device-level controls, banning smartphones in schools and launching an evidence-based review about the age of digital consent. And that's just for a start. Ministers talk a good game but each day without action is another day our children remain exposed. This is not about censorship or anti-tech scaremongering – this is about children. Real children – perhaps someone you know, or worse, your own – facing serious harm every single day. We protect them in the real world with seatbelts, safeguarding laws and age limits; yet online, we are still playing catch-up. The legal framework is in place but now it must be built upon – boldly, urgently and without excuses. Instead, it feels like the topic is constantly being kicked into the long grass – as if simply 'looking at it' counts as action. Take Labour's refusal to back a private member's Bill proposing a higher age of digital consent. Rather than engage with the principle or contribute constructively, they dodged the debate entirely. For a party that claims to prioritise child safety, their reluctance to take on the tech giants speaks volumes. This is not a fringe issue. It's a defining test of modern policymaking: can we create a digital environment that enables connection and creativity without sacrificing the wellbeing of an entire generation? I remember the final stretch of the Bill. My son was only four days old when I was back in meetings with officials, peers and advisers – making sure the legislation couldn't be watered down and remained workable. I felt the crushing guilt of missing time with him on those first days but I also knew the guilt I'd feel if I didn't do my part to protect the world he was growing up in. Because this isn't theoretical. Children are still being served suicide content by design. Still being bombarded with anorexia videos. Still being targeted through algorithmic systems optimised not for safety, but for engagement. We need Labour to recognise that online safety is not a one-off legislative win, but a policy frontier that must be actively governed and continuously reformed. Just as we don't set national security or public health policy and then walk away, online safety must be treated as a live, evolving challenge – one that demands cross-departmental focus, long-term investment and consistent ministerial ownership. We created a minimum floor, not a ceiling. The Act was never meant to be the end of the conversation – it was meant to start it. A modern online safety strategy must evolve constantly: reflecting new risks, reviewing age thresholds, investing in digital resilience and delivering on our promises to families. Anything less isn't just complacency – it's a failure of duty. And families across the UK deserve better.

TikTok creating more than 500 new British jobs as UK users top 30 million
The Chinese-owned social media firm said its UK workforce would expand to 3,000 this year as part of its 'deep commitment' to the UK. It will also open a new 135,000sq ft office in London's Barbican, which is set to open early next year. The group already has its UK headquarters in Farringdon, London, which were opened in 2022. TikTok unveiled the plans as it said it now has more than 30 million regular users in the UK each month, which makes the market is biggest user community in Europe. Adam Presser, director of TikTok UK and global head of operations and trust and safety, said: 'Whether through direct investment in jobs and innovation, or the wider economic contribution from millions of British businesses on TikTok, we're pleased to be increasing our investment and presence here in the UK, an important hub for TikTok.' But it comes after Cabinet minister Pete Kyle signalled he was looking at measures to restrict the amount of time children spend on their phones, including through a possible 10pm curfew. Mr Kyle was asked on Sunday morning whether he would look at limiting the time children spend on social media to two hours per app after the Sunday People and Mirror reported the measure was being considered by ministers. The Online Safety Act has passed into law, and from this year will require tech platforms to follow new Ofcom-issued codes of practice to keep users safe online, particularly children. Hefty fines and site blockages are among the penalties for those caught breaking the rules, but many critics have argued the approach gives tech firms too much scope to regulate themselves. TikTok's Mr Presser said that, as well as its UK expansion plans, the group also invests 'significantly' in safety. He said: 'What underpins our continued growth is our deep commitment to safety and to creating an enjoyable and secure digital space to sustainably support creators, entrepreneurs and the wider economy, which is why we also invest significantly in safety.' TikTok first launched its UK operations in 2018 and is financially incorporated in Britain. The group was fined 530 million euro (£446 million) by the Irish data protection watchdog last month for breaching EU privacy rules around transferring user data to China. The video-sharing app was also sanctioned for not being transparent with users about where personal data was being sent and ordered the platform to comply with data protection rules within six months. TikTok said it would appeal against the decision. The social media giant, which is owned by China-based ByteDance, has been under scrutiny from regulators around the world over how it handles personal data, and is also facing a ban in the United States over its China links, which the US government has said is a national security issue.
