Our new clause 19 focuses on the use of inappropriate social media services by under-16s, and on protections for children. For those watching online, I will summarise the three positions that I have heard. It seems that the Government position is, “We don’t want to think about it, so let’s leave things as they are.” The Lib Dem position is, “We don’t want to think about it, but let’s bring in a blanket ban.” Our position is very much, “Think about it, get it into a workable and effective position, and then improve the protections for our children.”
