Ruth Moss' daughter Sophie Parkinson took her own life aged 13 after viewing harmful content online
An Edinburgh nurse whose daughter killed herself after viewing harmful online content has backed calls for tougher social media regulation. Ruth Moss is campaigning with the NSPCC for new legislation which would hold tech bosses to account.
Ministers have said it remains the intention to pass the Bill during this parliamentary session. But campaigners say it needs to go further, urging liability for decisions that result in preventable harm or sexual abuse. “Criminal liability drives the right behaviours in those with the most responsibility. It works in other industries and there is no reason in my mind as to why big tech executives should be treated any differently.”
Sir Peter Wanless, NSPCC chief executive, said: “2022 was the year the Online Safety Bill faced delay after delay while children faced sexual abuse on an industrial scale and tech bosses sat on their hands as their algorithms continued to bombard young users with hugely dangerous material.
