Joint statement from The FA, Premier League, EFL, PFA and Kick It Out on Online Safety Bill
We welcome the passing of the Online Safety Bill and are pleased that English football has played a prominent role in the development of this legislation.
It is a significant moment for those who participate in the game as the Bill will hold social media companies to account and we look forward to working closely with Ofcom on its implementation.
We encourage the government to ensure that Ofcom and law enforcement are fully equipped to challenge social media companies if they fail to protect their users.
But social media companies don’t need to wait. They can introduce better tools right now so that users have a better experience, free from unwanted and damaging discrimination.
