Re: Online Safety Bill

Richard Madely was on yesterday's 'This Morning' promoting a fictional book he's written about a girl who is targeted by an internet troll. It affects her so much that she goes on to commit suicide.

I'm torn as to what I think about this. On the one hand it's probably based on the real life events of the children who ended up killing themselves that was mentioned earlier so could be viewed as crass, insensitive and opportunistic.

On the other hand it may draw attention to the issue to people who might not have been aware of these tragedies.
