Labour's deputy leader, Angela Rayner, fiercely criticized Nigel Farage and his Reform party today, alleging their plan to scrap the Online Safety Act would endanger young women. Rayner argues that dismantling the Act would leave vulnerable individuals exposed to online harms, including revenge porn and other forms of abuse.
The Online Safety Act, recently passed, aims to hold social media companies accountable for harmful content on their platforms. Reform's proposed repeal has sparked widespread concern, particularly regarding protections for women and children. Rayner accused Farage of "failing young women" and fueling a culture of online exploitation.
Science Secretary Michelle Donelan echoed Rayner's sentiments, demanding Farage apologize "morning, noon, and night" for failing to protect children online. The debate highlights the growing anxieties surrounding online safety and the responsibility of political parties to safeguard citizens in the digital age.
