Prison sentences for social media bosses who are shown to be running “unsafe” businesses would help platforms think about user safety, Molly Russell’s father has said.

Ian Russell said action that would “refocus” the minds of executives is what is needed to stop them “prioritising profit”.

“We don’t allow them into off-licences to buy alcohol until they’re 18 and they can’t go and buy a sharp knife for similar reasons. Elizabeth Lagone, Meta’s head of health and wellbeing, said she believed content viewed by Molly which her family argued promoted suicide and self-harm, was safe Reflecting on what he heard from executives at Meta and Pinterest at his daughter’s inquest, Mr Russell said: “It became a tale of two platforms.

“The only person that I’ve ever come across in this whole world, since Molly’s death, that thought that content was safe was Elizabeth Lagone from Meta.” “What’s not understandable is when the Bill has been so well-scrutinised and so carefully drafted and we get fresh sets of objections raised,” he said.

He added: “The algorithms must be policed and protected as well so that if a company uses an unsafe algorithm to promote unsafe material, that must be stopped.”
