Former contestant gives evidence to MPs about abuse and says social media firms are not doing enough to tackle issue
Former Love Island contestant Amy Hart has said her online abusers are often married people with children or in jobs like nursing, and that she received a death threat from a 13-year-old child.
Hart, who was giving evidence to a committee of MPs investigating influencer culture, said she had 3,000 Instagram followers before she appeared on the popular ITV reality programme. When she left, she had 1.1 million. “That was quite life-changing: suddenly going from nobody knowing what you were doing to everybody knowing what you were doing.”
