The father of teenager Molly Russell who took her own life after viewing harmful images on Instagram welcomes Sir Tim's remarks.
"The same platform that allows her to reach customers also exposes her to daily bombardment of sexual harassment from strangers."
Emily Sharpe, director of policy at the Web Foundation, said:"The crisis facing women and girls online is one of global proportions. "Individuals must use the web responsibly and also not be silent bystanders, instead reporting harmful content every time it is encountered. "That's why the Molly Rose Foundation is fully supporting Sir Tim and the Web Foundation's call that the web must work for everyone."
