00:00John, what do you make of that? Is this bordering on being too controlling? I mean, we've also looking at examples from Australia where come December, there's going to be the implementation of a total social media ban for children under 16. Is this a slow creep of control?
00:18Well, let's, Jim Dobre, by the way, what we ought to start from is the total anarchy that big tech, driven principally by the profit motive and nothing else, the total anarchy that they have unleashed.
00:35And what we're seeing now is reaction by parents, by children themselves, to a state of affairs that any civilized country must consider to be unacceptable.
00:47Peter Carl's reference to Jimmy Savile was a very straightforward one.
00:52If you want to repeal the Online Safety Act and take us back to where we were, what you're talking about, in effect, is saying, have at it.
01:02Carry on the way things have been. Children being groomed, children being recruited by paedophiles, by terrorist networks.
01:11That is a state of affairs that is no longer acceptable.
01:14The companies, the American, principally American companies, were given every opportunity to put these things right on a voluntary basis.
01:23They refused. What is Parliament, what is a government supposed to do in the face of such resolute determination to leave that anarchy as it is?
