00:00Today is a big moment for our country.
00:03This is a big step.
00:06Real change for our children and our future.
00:10Because today I can announce
00:13that the government will ban access to social media
00:17for all children under the age of 16.
00:21Every parent can see it with their own eyes.
00:24Social media is making children unhappy.
00:27It's making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them.
00:32And it could even be harming their mental health.
00:35Exposing them to content that is dangerous.
00:38Because that's what grabs the attention.
00:41It's designed to be addictive.
00:44Of course it is.
00:46Features like the infinite scroll.
00:48They're designed to lock you in for hours.
00:53And if nothing else,
00:55there's an opportunity cost to that.
00:58It stops children doing their homework,
01:02reading,
01:03playing with their friends outside,
01:05going to bed at decent hour.
01:08Now, that may not sound like much,
01:12but these are the activities
01:14that help a child develop into an adult.
01:17¡Gracias!
