All social media giants should have to take realistic steps to tackle all forms of online abuse
The smacking of children should be banned

A Conspiracy Theories Action Plan should be developed to address the rise of conspiracy theories in society & to limit their negative influence on public life
Comments
  • The calculation used to determine NHS staff wages should be reformed
  • The NHS must remain publicly funded and free at the point of delivery. It should not be privatised, fragmented or underresourced. A Conspiracy Theory Action Plan may be harder to implement than suggested. I understand the sentiment but 'fake news' is neither new or the sole preserve of one group of people in society
  • limiting conspiracy theories would only cause the theories to grow even more, a lot of the time conspiracy theories are somewhat true, on the rise of such theories, especially Noahs case, people were called conspiracy theorists for wanting the truth to come out on that particular subject as PSNI are withholding information on this case, if that action plan had existed Fiona may not even have had a real social media presence on her quest for justice.
