This research was commissioned by Ofcom. The Information Commissioner’s Office provided advice on the research design and analysis.
The main objective of the research was to quantify concerns about, and reported experience of, online harm in four key categories:
- Content that people view, read or listen to online
- Interactions with other users
- Data/privacy
- Hacking/security
The research also explored knowledge and opinions of the current level of regulation that applies to broadcast and online environments.
