In order to address the issue of online harm, the British government has published the Online Harms White Paper in 2019. Online harm is defined as “online content or activity that harms individual users, particularly children, or threatens our way of life in the UK, either by undermining national security, or by reducing trust and undermining our shared rights, responsibilities and opportunities to foster integration” within the paper. In other words, it is an illegal act done by the user through the Internet that could cause physical or psychological harm to a person. There are different types of online harm, some examples include cyberbullying, hate speech, racism, and child sexual exploitation.
