THE ONLINE SAFETY BILL AND BIG TECH

The UK government recently introduced a pioneering piece of legislation, the
Online Safety Bill, that is designed to create greater accountability for social
media, search engines and other online platforms.

In the first in-depth video of our Price of Fame campaign, our network of
experts and Farrer & Co's reputation management specialists explore the
impossible balance that the Online Safety Bill seeks to address, and the
challenges of successfully regulating Big Tech.

CYBER SECURITY AND TROLLING

Trolling is a phenomenon that has swept across websites in recent years. The
anonymity created online can be very addictive and empowering. Thousands of fake
profiles are being created daily on social media to deliberately insult others
and manipulate people into exposing personal information. Trolling itself is not
a crime. However, sometimes the behaviour of trolls crosses into the unlawful
(harassment, cyber-stalking, blackmail and defamation to name but a few
examples). Sometimes troll’s actions can also have tragic consequences. But what
can we do to protect ourselves online? In this episode of our Price of Fame
video series hear from our network of experts on what can you do to protect
yourself and your mental health online.

TAKING LEGAL ACTION

As a society, we benefit from access to instant news, instant notifications -
about everything and everyone- instant entertainment and so on. Like it or
loathe it, social media and other digital content play an increasingly prominent
role in our lives.

Living in a world of incessant content creation has also dramatically changed
the media and entertainment industry landscape, transforming it into a live
stream that runs 24 hours a day. This has put journalists under significant
pressure to deliver attention grabbing headlines at breakneck speed, which
inevitably does on occasion come at the expense and accuracy of news stories.
This video focuses on when legal action is required, including a discussion
around the pros and cons taking legal action can have.
