Jersey's government is asking islanders where they draw the line for defining illegal content online.
Proposed new legislation will make it easier for people to get certain content removed from social media, websites, and search engines.
The government needs islanders' opinions on what crosses the line and should be covered by the legislation.
A survey has opened to make sure the rules are sufficient.
It's a law made specifically for Jersey.
Deputy Moz Scott, Assistant Economic Development Minister, says it's important the government pins down what we think is acceptable and unacceptable:
"It will be a new law that will be tailored around us as a community, which is why it's so important that we hear back from people on this consultation, given how the lines aren't clearly drawn.
"In some countries, they have a more rigorous right to privacy, so what do we think, what are our values?
"It could be something that isn't necessarily illegal by Jersey laws, but is reasonably likely to cause the person depicted by them distress.
"Where should we draw the line?"
The government is consulting on the draft Online Harms legislation with a public survey open until early March.
