Ahead of his speech at the Royal Television Society's convention, OFCOM's chairman Lord Grade tells Nick Ferrari "serious regulations" are coming for tech companies associated with 14-year-old Molly Russell's suicide.
Regulation companies such as OFCOM face scrutiny following the death of a 14-year-old girl, Molly Russell who committed suicide after consuming Instagram content her family claimed to encourage suicide. "The tech companies have got to take responsibility and have got to be regulated. The wild west approach no longer is acceptable to the public it is causing a lot of harm," Lord Grade responded.
