00:00We need to protect our young people, but this looks rushed and ill thought through.
00:04We've argued for ones that look at the individual platforms.
00:08In the way we classify films and have them age rated, that's the approach that we would
00:13support.
00:14And in many ways that would be tougher than what the government has put forward.
00:17And we also think they've not really addressed the problem of what are called addictive algorithms,
00:22where these social media platforms bring in young people, bring in adults frankly, and
00:27make them addicted to their platform.
00:30There needs to be much tougher action on that.
