The coroner also voiced concerns over age verification when signing up to the platforms, content not being controlled so as to be age-specific and algorithms being used to provide content together with adverts.

He also recommended that "consideration is given to enacting such legislation as may be necessary to ensure the protection of children from the effects of harmful online content and the effective regulation of harmful online content". The coroner added that while any regulation "would be a matter for government I can see no reason why the platforms themselves would not wish to give consideration to self-regulation".Meta, Pinterest, Twitter and Snapchat now all have 56 days to respond with a timetable of action they propose to take or explain why no action is proposed.
