As part of the Strategy consultation, we are gathering information on users' experience of online abuse.</p><p>We are also consulting on the introduction of a code of practice, as laid out in the Digital Economy Act 2017. The Act requires that the code addresses conduct that involves bullying or insulting an individual online, or other behaviour likely to intimidate or humiliate the individual. Our online survey consultation specifically asks whether the code of practice should include steps to tackle those who use anonymous social media accounts to abuse others.</p><p>We will use the information gathered during our consultation to inform future policy development.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 09/11/2017 15:35:11 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
