In our view the &#8216;Villain&#8217; award had much more of a positive impact than the &#8216;Hero&#8217; one, which it achieved by raising awareness of bad practices.<\/p>\n<p>This year we suspect that people will probably nominate individuals or organisations around topics such as GDPR, cyber security and new Age Verification procedures (i.e. restricting access to porn sites) etc. Mind you we&#8217;re not sure how many heroes can be found in that bunch but there are plenty of other options.<\/p>\n<p>As usual your nominations can be submitted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ispa\" target=\"_blank\">ISPA<\/a> via email (awards@ispa.org.uk) or via twitter (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ispauk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@ISPAUK<\/a>) using the hashtag <strong>#InternetHero<\/strong>.
