The article discusses the ongoing challenges surrounding online safety laws in the UK, emphasized by the experiences of bereaved parents, particularly Ian Russell. Following the tragic death of his daughter Molly, who took her life after viewing harmful content online, Russell has expressed frustration regarding the government’s approach to the Online Safety Act, which, despite passing into law, is seen as ineffective with criticisms about its slow implementation and the self-regulation allowed for tech companies. Campaigners fear that without stringent enforcement, real harm to children remains a significant issue.
