I urge the Government to support these amendments. They are the foundation of a safer online world. If we fail to act, we risk legitimising a culture where abuse is normalised, and we cannot allow the increase of harmful online content to continue. It must be stopped because it causes harm and poisons minds, especially those of children and very young people and distorts the concept of a healthy, loving relationship. I will say it again and again and again: childhood lasts a lifetime, so let us act now to ensure that every childhood is free from abuse, victimisation and exploitation. Let us act now, sooner rather than later, to help those victims who are being victimised right at this very moment. Let us focus our minds on those young people and those children.
