Just been on the news that the committee scrutinising the Online Harms Bill doesn't think that it goes far enough. They believe that certain things should be made outright illegal before they are even posted and subsequently dealt with eg encouraging suicide, cyber flashing etc.

They have concluded that the fine line between freedom of speech and protecting vulnerable people from online harm hasn't been met voluntarily by websites.

In addition, they believe that ISP's should be made more responsible for online harm prevention too.
