The representative from the NSPCC said that the Online Safety Bill would speed up the requirement of websites to hand over details of offenders:
This report is a little confusing as Dermot O'Leary said at the beginning that websites aren't currently required to hand over details, but they are, it's just that the process can be long and drawn out as websites are more concerned about their reputation than dealing with bullies/trolls.

The final feature on today's Woman's Hour was about internet equality. It was said that women are twenty seven times more likely to be harassed online and that this is much worse for black women.
It was also said that for any woman in the public eye who is online, it is now inevitable that they will receive abuse.
