Online Safety Bill

Proceeding contribution from Munira Wilson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 April 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Online Safety Bill.

I thank the Secretary of State for giving way. She talked about how this Bill is going to protect children much more, and it is a welcome step forward. However, does she accept that there are major gaps in this Bill? For instance, gaming is not covered. It is not clear whether things such as virtual reality and the metaverse are going to be covered. [Interruption.] It is not clear and all the experts will tell us that. The codes of practice in the Bill are only recommended guidance; they are not mandatary and binding on companies. That will encourage a race to the bottom.
