One of the most important moments in my role as Technology Secretary. Protecting children isn’t optional — it’s a priority.  And I’m determined to make sure every child gets the childhood they deserve.

"There is a clear sense across this country that the chronic impact of social media is so extensive. "It's not the childhood any of us want in this country." Have tech companies "stolen" our children's childhoods? @KanishkaNarayan speaks to @jonsopel and @maitlis.

I want there to be a cultural shift and lasting change for future generations when it comes to young people’s experiences of social media. Since day one in my role at Tech Secretary, keeping children safe online has been my top priority.

Parents have been crying out for support when it comes to their children being on social media. So that’s why we’ve made this big decision – to put power back in to parents’ hands, and to give children their childhood back.
