Require special social media content review pathways for bereaved families — 15 signatures. Status: open.
We want the Government to amend online safety legislation to require social media platforms to create specialised, urgent content review pathways for bereaved families when they report distressing footage, cruel or AI-generated videos and targeted online abuse relating to a loved one’s death.
Bereaved families can suffer further distress when footage of a loved one’s death, cruel comments and AI-generated videos are shared online. We want social media platforms to be required to provide a dedicated, urgent reporting pathway with clear response deadlines, specialist reviews and appeals. Platforms should explain decisions and take action against repeat harassment. Unlike general content removal requests, these specialised pathways could give grieving families a specific route to seek help, while protecting legitimate reporting and free speech.
