Commons committee warns against 'dark side' of the internet
Commons committee warns against 'dark side' of the internet

In its latest report, the Commons culture, media and sport committee warns of a "dark side" to the internet for children.
Online companies such as YouTube should do more to protect children from potentially damaging material on the web, the report says, and it takes too long for websites to remove illegal material.
The MPs also recommend that computer games should be rated by the same people who classify movies, to protect children from violent and sexual content.
