The Home Office routinely meets with women’s groups to discuss a range of issues around ending violence against women and girls, including problems associated with harmful speech on the internet. The Government continues to work closely with social media companies and other relevant stakeholders and experts to make sure they are doing all they can to protect those who use their platforms.
