May 2022 - Dear Prime Minister and Secretary of State,

May 2022 Dear Prime Minister and Secretary of State, For years, we have used data to hold tech companies to account and track the true causes of online harms. [...] The NSPCC and 50+ children’s charities wrote to Meta asking to see the research in full, but the company refused. [...] The same can be done with the UK’s Safety Tech Sector, but only if there is greater visibility and understanding of online harms. [...] Without this data, researchers based in the EU will be ahead of those in the UK. [...] We urge you to amend the Bill to accelerate the data sharing provisions, mandating Ofcom to provide guidance on how civil society and researchers can access data, not just if they should.
