00:00London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan is backing a £5 million plan to help protect young people from
00:06harmful online content and disputes that can move into the real world. The Violence Reduction Unit
00:13says the programme will support young people and youth workers with advice, training and ways to
00:19prevent conflicts escalating. The move follows research into how social media may influence
00:25violence and misogyny amongst young people. City Hall says the evidence shows online disputes can
00:31create pressure and make conflicts harder to escape from. Conservative politicians have criticised the
00:37plans and questioned their impact. The Mayor says the investment aims to tackle online harm.
