19,320 incidents of cyber-bullying, including revenge porn and harassment, were reported to the police in Britain last year.

‘Facebook is still not doing enough to protect its users from cyber-bullying and needs to step up its game.’

"Facebook is still not doing enough to protect its users from cyber-bullying and needs to step up its game," The Sun quoted Clare Ambrosino from Parliament Street, a Britain-based innovative young think-tank, as saying on Sunday. 




"Facebook is the favoured media for the very young and it is fundamental that they are kept safe," Ambrosino added.
According to a research by Parliament Street, 19,320 incidents of cyber-bullying, including revenge porn and harassment, were reported to the police in Britain last year.
Out of these, the police stepped into nearly 6,300 cyber-bullying incidents.
While Facebook was involved in 32.5 per cent of these cases in 2016, Twitter accounted for just 0.9 per cent of cases -- despite having a market share of five per cent of social media use in Britain.
