  • Parents of children who died because of online sexual extortion are urging MPs to act on online harms legislation.

The article discusses the testimony of Lianne Raymond, the mother of a sextortion victim, before the Canadian House of Commons ethics committee. She urged MPs to set aside political differences and address the issue of online harms, particularly sextortion, which led to her son's suicide. Raymond highlighted the need for legislative action to protect children online, criticizing the slow progress on Bill C-63, which aims to tackle online harms. She shared her personal tragedy to underscore the urgency of the matter, emphasizing that without immediate action, more children could suffer. The committee is examining the bill, which proposes the creation of a new ombudsperson for online safety and a digital safety commission, amidst concerns about freedom of expression and the bill's potential impact on social media platforms.
