Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan is seeking to pass a new bill which would criminalise content encouraging self-harm.
Michelle joined This Morning to discuss the new bill alongside Ian Russel, the father of schoolgirl Molly Russel who took her own life after seeing and being influenced by depression and suicidal posts.
On the fifth anniversary of Molly's death, they agreed more needs to be done to protect children online which the new bill will set out to do. Michelle said she was strengthening the Online Safety Bill "to make sure these vile acts are stamped out".
