Calls For Online Safety Commissioner To Be Appointed
Children and young people need a better way to get offensive content removed from the internet, according to The Children's Rights Alliance.
They are calling for an Online Safety Commissioner to be appointed to help children stand up to big tech platforms when they have a problem online.
It's part of their new online safety campaign that wants the government to take more action to make the online world safer for young people.
The Alliance says social media companies are making massive profits and failing to invest in online safety measures.
Saoirse Brady from the Children's Rights Alliance says if social media platforms ignore childrens' complaints, they have nowhere else to go:
