00:00We need first to consider the type of platforms that are harmful to our children, and the evidence shows that
00:08this is mainly social media platforms, but also other providers with age-inappropriate and addictive features.
00:17So think of it as social media plus. And when we have this clearly defined category, I believe we need
00:28to consider phased and gradual access for different age ranges, because childhood won't wait, and once it's gone, we can
00:37never give it back.
00:39Let me be very clear. Social media is not a toy. While ultimately it is up to the parents to
00:47decide when children get their first smartphone, what we already have is a consensus that there needs to be a
00:56start date for the age children can join social media.
01:02The status quo, a world where we continue to allow big tech unrestricted access to our children, will only consign
01:12another generation to more mental harm, addiction and misery.
