00:00We asked for a public commitment from the Prime Minister to fulfill the asks that we had as well
00:06and made it very clear that it wasn't a pick and mix and we wanted no more children to die
00:11as a result of online harm.
00:13And I think also he said to us it would be a case of weeks that we hear something rather
00:18than months.
00:19So fingers crossed we're not waiting. We said how many more children have to die and suffer before something else
00:24happens.
00:25We don't want anybody else to join our group.
00:26We can't pick and mix. We are all here to represent our children but we are all here to represent
00:33the children
00:33that are the next big tech infusers. So we are all united in that course.
00:39We need the Prime Minister to choose children over big tech.
00:44Children over the profits. Children need to come first.
00:48We also said to the Prime Minister that we want robust action and that takes courage
00:52and we asked him to have the political courage and political leadership to stand up to big tech today
00:57and to actually do the right thing with my children.
