Zach (pictured right*), aged 9, has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He was one of many of our followers targeted on Twitter by internet trolls, with malicious flashing images designed to trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Join our campaign to make social media safe for everyone by writing to your MP.

Due to current circumstances in relation to the coronavirus some of our services have been reduced with our staff working from home. Despite this our top priority at Epilepsy Society is to support people living with epilepsy. In the next coming weeks, you may notice a slight change in our communications. For the time being, we will focus our efforts on making sure you have all the information you need from us to help you as best we can in the current climate.
A letter from Boris Johnson
When Tracy cousins wrote to her local MP, Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister wrote back with a promise to tackle malicious tweets with his Government.
“I recognise your specific concerns about the deliberate targeting of epilepsy sufferers online and would be happy to raise this issue with the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as we consider the next stages of the Online Harms Bill.” Boris Johnson, Prime Minister
