Future tragedies linked to incel culture may not be prevented by the Online Safety Bill unless changes are made, Labour MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport Luke Pollard has warned. Five people were shot dead by Jake Davison in the Keyham area of Plymouth in August 2021.
Davison’s social media suggests he was obsessed with incel (involuntary celibate) culture, subscribing to a YouTube channel called Incel TV. Mr Pollard told the Commons on Tuesday that the Online Safety Bill does not go far enough to protect people from what he described as the dangers of incel culture., reports Plymouth Live.
He was speaking during the Bill’s report stage debate, and urged MPs to ensure tackling incel content was a threshold sites must reach. He said: “I really want to rid the internet of the disgusting, festering incel culture that is capturing so many of our young people and young men in particular.
