Does either of the delegates have a view on the application of terms of usage of any of the larger social media providers in terms of the implications involved when a person actually reports abuse? There was reference to figures which suggested around 7% of those affected reported abuse. It is such a low number. Many children will report it to a parent or a teacher, but such small numbers are reporting to the service providers. My own observational experience has been that the service providers' terms of reference are just there for show. There does not seem to be uniformity in how they are applied. Do the delegates have a view?
