Paragraph 17
17. Stresses the need for the EU to address the use of the iInternet by adults and children for the psychological torture of children and harassment through social media; notes that, despite the existence of the EU's Safer Internet Programme, the EU's response to the phenomenon of Internet bullying has been inadequate; highlights the recent spate of incidences of children taking their lives as a result of online bullying, and the continued existence of websites hosted in Member States which have been directly or indirectly implicated in these actions; stresses, therefore, the urgency for the EU to take clear and firm action against online bullying and harassment and the websites facilitating it;
