00:00We as a government need to be up there alongside parents, providing leadership and support for them when it comes
00:06to social media.
00:08And we will. Now we've already announced that we're going to do a consultation on banning social media for under
00:15-60s.
00:16And that will start very soon, but I'm really clear, the status quo, things as they are now, is not
00:24good enough.
00:25Nobody can make the argument that things can be left as they are. They can't, they're not protective of children,
00:30and we intend to add.
00:32But what we're doing now is taking the powers available to make sure at the end of that consultation, we
00:38can move really fast.
