What Netflix’s Adolescence reveals about digital dangers and what parents can do now – Mark Jones for Tatler

Defence and Investigations expert Mark Jones, Partner at Payne Hicks Beach, was asked by Tatler for his opinion on online safety for young people and teenagers following the release of the Netflix smash Adolescence in their feature Growing Up Online.

When asked by Tatler whether the new Online Safety Act will be effective, Mark remarked “Ofcom is able to take enforcement action against platforms who fail to tackle criminal content, such as harassment, hate offences and child sexual exploitation. However, there is real potential for content which is “lawful but awful” to cause harm. It is not of itself illegal, but can still cause significant harm to children and young people.”
