Purpose of the session
The first session of the inquiry heard evidence from influencer Em Sheldon on being the target of internet abuse. This session will examine what drives such harassment, how much support influencers would like, and what support is offered by organisations they work with.
How well regulations are working around influencer marketing, such as ‘advertorial’ content, are also likely to be considered.
