Liberal Democrat — Cheltenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 May 2025

Debate

Data (Use and Access) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

The press have obviously been briefed by Conservatives that the Conservatives are pushing for a ban on social media for under-16s, but it seems that what is actually being suggested is a review of the digital age of consent with a view to perhaps increasing it to 16. The two positions are very different, and I wonder whether the tough talk in the press matches what is actually being proposed by the Opposition today.
