Media and Sport published an Internet Safety Strategy on 11 October which focuses
on keeping all users safe online. The Strategy covers the responsibilities of companies
to their users, the use of technical solutions to prevent online harms and Government's
role in supporting users.</p><p> </p><p>The Strategy consults on the introduction
of the social media code of practice, as laid out in the Digital Economy Act 2017,
which will address conduct that involves bullying or insulting an individual online,
or other behaviour likely to intimidate or humiliate the individual.</p><p> </p><p>The
consultation will close on 7 December and we will publish a Government response in
early 2018.</p>
