question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce regulations on social media companies, including mandatory design standards, to increase online safety for services that are used by children.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL2246
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2021 answer text <p>The draft Online Safety Bill, published in May 2021, will ensure companies design their platforms to be safer for users, and particularly for children. The new laws will apply to companies that allow users to post content online or to interact with each other, which includes social media companies. The draft bill will be subject to pre-legislative scrutiny in this session. The Joint Committee that will scrutinise the draft Bill has now been set up, and members from both Houses have now been appointed.</p><p>The strongest protections in the legislation are for children. Unless social media companies are able to prove that children are not accessing their service, they will need to conduct a child safety risk assessment and provide safety measures for child users, keeping these under regular review. As part of the risk assessment, companies will need to assess how the design and operation of the service may increase or reduce the risks identified.</p><p>The government has also published voluntary Safety by Design guidance in June 2021 that will help companies design safer online services. In addition, the Information Commissioner’s Age Appropriate Design Code, which will come into force in September 2021, will set out specific protections for children’s personal data that companies will need to build in when designing online services likely to be accessed by children.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 27/07/2021 11:57:32 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Barran on 19 July (HL1969), what proportion of the 6,500,000 reports received by the Suspicious Email Reporting Service resulted in the removal (1) a scam, (2) a web address, and (3) both.
tabling member printed	Lord Lucas
uin	HL2164
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2021 answer text <p>The Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS) provides the public with a route for the escalation and removal of suspected phishing campaigns. The automated SERS processes emails received from the public, and if a malicious web address (URL) is identified in the email, a take down request is submitted to the hosting provider. To date we have identified more than 97,500 individual malicious URLs for removal which equates to 50,5000 individual scam campaigns. Multiple reports of the same scams have been forwarded to SERS. The total number of reports to SERS stands at 6.5m as at 30th June 2021.</p><p> </p><p>SERS is one tool in HMG’s response to cybercrime, and is intended to empower people to simply forward suspicious emails to the NCSC for action. Full details of the NCSC’s comprehensive response to the proactive identification and removal of malicious activity on the internet can be found in its Active Cyber Defence Year 4 report. This report outlines all the measures the NCSC takes to identify and remove the malicious activity before it ever reaches the public, and can be found at <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/report/acd-report-year-four" target="_blank">https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/report/acd-report-year-four</a></p><p> </p><p>If a person falls victim to a phishing email, that should be reported to Action Fraud and it will be logged as a crime.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 02/08/2021 13:24:54 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
