Daily Mirror – Social media firms … they just don’t care
Social media firms are “putting kids at risk” by failing to remove dangerous content about self-harm and suicide, the Daily Mirror reports. Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly ended her own life at the age of 14, tells the paper that social media firms are “failing to remove dangerous content about self-harm and suicide”. Despite the companies making verbal promises there has been “no evidence anything has changed,” he says.
Elsewhere, Molly Mae Hague has announced her shock split with Tommy Fury in a bombshell statement saying ‘never in a million years did I think I’d have to write this’.
Exclusive: Bombshell probe says social media firms are risking kids’ lives by failing to remove harmful content
A probe suggests social media firms are putting kids at risk by failing to remove a mass of dangerous content about self-harm and suicide.
Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly took her own life aged 14 in 2017, said bosses make promises but “there’s no evidence anything has changed”. He told the Mirror that tech firms are still not doing anywhere near enough to protect children.
Ian has condemned some social media giants after a report suggested a huge amount of potentially damaging content relating to suicide and self-harm is not being detected and removed. The analysis was done by the Molly Rose Foundation, which was set up in Molly’s memory to help prevent youngsters from killing themselves.
He said: “Almost seven years after Molly died, it’s shocking to see most major tech companies continue to sit on their hands and choose inaction over saving young lives.” The dad, who chairs the foundation, told the Mirror: “Over the years we’ve grown used to hearing platforms say, ‘We take this very seriously… the safety of our users is paramount’. That sounds comforting but there’s no real evidence anything has really changed.”
Molly-Mae Hague’s brutal split statement in full speaks volumes about Tommy Fury
Molly-Mae Hague has left her fans reeling with the sudden news she has split with husband-to-be Tommy Fury.
In a bombshell statement, Molly’s shock and anger was clear to see, as she revealed her engagement was now over just a year after Tommy popped the question. The pair had been planning an idyllic wedding next year with their daughter Bambi set to take centre stage in the proceedings.
However, the romance – which started in the Love Island villa back in 2019 – has been brutally cut short. Molly-Mae’s statement appears to reveal all about what went down between them.
