answer text <p>Cyber Security, including cyber crime, is a top priority threat to national security. Through the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP), we invested over £90 million under the last Parliament to bolster the law enforcement response, and we are continuing to invest. This Government has committed to transformative investment of £1.9 billion on cyber security over the next five years, including for tackling cyber crime. This year we have published a second five-year National Cyber Security Strategy and established the National Cyber Security Centre which will act as a ‘one stop shop’ for national cyber security.</p><p>Action Fraud, the national reporting point for fraud and financially-motivated cyber crime, has guidance on its website about Romance Fraud, which can be found at: http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/fraud-az-romance-scams The Government expects social media companies and internet platforms to have robust processes in place and to act promptly when abuse is reported. The Government continues to work closely with social media companies and other relevant actors and experts to make sure they are committed to protecting those who use their platforms.</p>

answer text <p>We expect social media companies, and internet platforms, to have robust processes in place and to act promptly when abuse is reported. The Government continues to work closely with social media companies and other relevant actors and experts to make sure they are committed to protecting those who use their platforms.</p><p>The law is clear that what is illegal offline is illegal online. Robust legislation is in place to deal with internet trolls, cyber-stalking and harassment, and perpetrators of grossly offensive, obscene or menacing behaviour.</p><p>The Criminal Justice Act 2015 strengthened two existing communications offences: section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988, and section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 which can now be used to prosecute misuse of social media. The police now have longer to investigate either offence, and the maximum penalty for the former has been increased to two years imprisonment.</p><p>The Crown Prosecution Service published guidance to prosecutors in October on crimes involving social media. The Home Office has allocated £4.6 million of the Police Transformation Fund specifically to begin the critical work of setting up a comprehensive and joined up programme of digital transformation across policing.</p>
