He had “thought it normal” after seeing it in pornography.”Every adult in a responsible position” is urged to take the findings seriously by the commissioner.She asserts that the House of Lords’ Online Safety Bill should be utilized to safeguard children from internet pornography.

Dame Rachel asserts, “It should not be the case that young children are finding violent and misogynistic pornography on social media sites.”
