Inquiry scope (the committee's words)

In its report 'Regulating in a digital world' the committee noted that over a dozen UK regulators have a remit covering the digital world but there is no body which has complete oversight. As a result, regulation of the digital environment is fragmented, with gaps and overlaps. Big tech companies have failed to adequately tackle online harms.

The inquiry is closed, opened 28 March 2018.
