question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, in the light of Key Principle 1 of their Internet Safety Strategy Green Paper, published on 11 October, that standards of behaviour online should match those offline, and the proposal that there should be a common framework for media standards, what steps they are taking to ensure that equivalent definitions of prohibited material are applied across different media platforms.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2017 answer text <p>We are currently consulting on the social media code of practice provided for by the Digital Economy Act (2017). The Act requires the code to address conduct that is bullying or insulting to users, or other behaviour that is likely to intimidate or humiliate. Through this code we hope to tackle some of the most pernicious, but legal, online behaviours, including trolling and abuse, that is often disproportionately targeted towards women.</p><p>Such abusive and threatening behaviour online is totally unacceptable. A number of criminal offences may be committed by those abusing others on social media and an action which is illegal offline is also illegal online.</p><p> </p><p>Part 3 of the Digital Economy Act (2017) requires the Secretary of State to produce a report on the effectiveness of age verification measures 12 months after the powers come into force. This review will provide the opportunity to consider impact, identify gaps and consult on definitions used in this Part of the Act, including the definition of extreme pornography.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 14/11/2017 12:38:17 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2017 answer text <p>The Internet Safety Strategy recognises that the Internet can facilitate abuse and harassment, and enables individuals to attack people anonymously and those they have never met. 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
