Ian Russell has been made an MBE for working to improve online safety for children following the death of his daughter, Molly.

He told #BBCBreakfast the 14-year-old would have been "very proud" of her legacy around suicide prevention

It isn’t perfect, but 1yr since the final hearing in the inquest into the death of Molly Russell began, there is hope children will be better protected in the online world & no other family will have to battle for their child’s digital data

Well done @mollyroseorg @5RightsFound

[Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk]

The Online Safety Bill is now ready to become law, making the UK the safest place in the world to be online by:
🛡️ Introducing powerful child protection laws
💪 Giving people control over their online lives
🔒 Ensuring social media companies protect their users

There are so many people who have strived to introduce this new law. Sadly, too many among them have also lost children to online harms. We hope, in the future, there’ll will be fewer bereaved families and fewer tragic stories like Molly's https://t.co/fEbrSyo889

“Please keep doing what you are doing. The work you do is both appreciated and vital”

Ian Russell says that while swimming in a sea of pain and grief, bereaved families must also navigate the inquest process

He says that without the expertise of their legal team, they would not know the depth of connection between online harms and Molly’s death

Next to collect their Outstanding Achievement award is the team from @LeighDay_Law, led by @merryvarney, who acted for the Russell family

💥Campaign update: We are delighted the @UKHouseofLords has voted to amend the #onlinesafetybill to ensure tech companies make their services safe by design - thank you to peers from all sides of the House for supporting this essential change 🧵

The algorithms designed by social media companies need to be stopped from pushing harmful content to children. Such systems amplify a platform’s harms, sometimes with tragic consequences https://t.co/cjOmFb8kHY
