00:00Banning certain features is not enough. Social media is for adults, not for children.
00:06These platforms are designed to be addictive, and social media companies should not be profiting
00:11of young people's anxiety, mental health, or depression.
00:15That is why I have been calling for a ban on social media for under-16s.
00:20The Labour Party has ignored this up until recently.
00:23Now that Keir Starmer is in trouble, they're realizing that the idea was a good idea,
00:28but they're not implementing what needs to be done, instead looking at piecemeal measures.
00:32We need a wholesale comprehensive plan to get our children off social media.
00:37It is impacting their mental health. They are seeing all sorts of misinformation.
00:41It's distorting their understanding of our country and the world as we know it,
00:45and the government needs to do better.
