Government launches anti-trolling website to help victims of online abuse

Site particularly aims to advise women and LGBT people after figures from Stonewall show 23% of LGBT pupils experienced cyberbullying

The government has launched an anti-trolling website offering practical tips to people who find themselves the victims of online abuse on how to report the offence and where to seek help.

The site is particularly aimed at women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, because they have suffered some of the most extreme online abuse since the explosion in use of social media. It explains how to identify abuse and get offensive content removed.
