Government proposes changes to make Britain safer online

Government proposes changes to make Britain safer online: "The Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) announced the government’s Internet Safety Strategy, which aims to reduce dangers online while ensuring British people can still benefit from being online.

 The strategy involves implementing a social media code of practice, which will aim to stop bullying, intimidating or humiliating online content.

It also calls for a levy to be paid by social media companies and communications service providers, which will be used to help raise awareness and reduce dangerous content.

 DCMS added that it will create an annual report to demonstrate progress, and that startups will be supported to ensure safety is a top priority when they are developing online services." 'via Blog this'
