Have Your Say on New Proposals to Protect Children Online

This week, the Government has launched a consultation on how to best protect our children online.

Should there be a minimum age to be on social media? Should platforms switch off addictive features for children? Would mandatory overnight curfews help children sleep better? Should children be able to use AI chatbots without restriction? How should age verification be strengthened?

These are issues very close to my heart and I have been campaigning to raise the age of online consent to 16, restrict some of social media and AI’s worst features, and reclaim childhood for the real world.
