The Government’s consultation on how to tackle social media harms, titled “Growing Up In The Online World,” has closed, according to multiple reports. The articles focus on the views of Molly Russell’s father, who says his daughter would have been campaigning to make the online world safer.
All three outlets frame the story around the consultation’s conclusion and the need for action to address risks linked to social media use. They report that the bereaved father calls for measures to improve protections for children and young people online, reflecting the concerns raised after Molly Russell’s death and subsequent public attention on online content.
The reports do not outline specific policy decisions in detail, but they indicate the consultation is part of the Government’s work to determine what steps it should take in response to social media harms. Further outcomes would be expected after the Government reviews submissions and develops its next approach.
