She said: “Fifty per cent of them in the last four weeks had seen really disturbing things… violence, gore, pro-dieting, pro-suicide, really horrible things.”
The commissioner has made the plea after conducting research into extent to which youngsters are accessing harmful posts on the internet.The Government’s incoming Online Safety Bill aims to make tech firms do more to keep people safe online. Firms that fail to shield children from harmful material can be hit with fines up to a tenth of their global turnover, though Ms de Souza told the outlet she remains open to jailing the worst offenders.
