84A Removal order—cyber‑bullying offence
(a) a person is convicted by a service tribunal of an offence against subsection 48A(1) (cyber‑bullying); and
(b) the offence involved providing material on a social media service or relevant electronic service (within the meaning of section 10 of the Online Safety Act 2021);
the tribunal may, instead of, or in addition to, imposing a punishment or making an order under subsection 75(1), make an order under subsection (2).
(2) The tribunal may order the person to take reasonable action to remove, retract, recover, delete or destroy the material.
(3) This section applies in relation to a service offence that has been taken into consideration by a service tribunal under section 77 in determining the appropriate punishment for a service offence of which a person has been convicted by the tribunal as if the tribunal had convicted the person of the service offence so taken into consideration.
Note: Failure to comply with an order under this section is an offence: see section 48B.
