Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Social Justice – in the Senedd at 2:03 pm on 1 March 2023.
I'm very glad that this issue has been raised, because whilst policing is not devolved, I'm absolutely sure that the police are as concerned as we are about the way in which hateful views are exposing our young people to harmful images and extreme right-wing views. Yes, the RSE is very important to counter the hateful and self-harming images that young people are becoming exposed to, but clearly we need some regulation of what goes on online. I wondered if you'd had any conversation with the UK Government about the delays in implementing the online and related harms Bill so that we have some teeth to prevent people pushing all these hateful messages out online.
