It would be such a small step for the Government to say, following these dreadful, game-changing US social media cases and the very recent increased awareness of the potentially even worse dangers of AI chatbots and companions, that they are now going to focus their consultation on how to raise the age to 16 for just those features of social media—not whether, but how—and what to do about the other features of social media, and to continue to explore the very worrying areas of AI chatbots and companions, gaming and VPNs, and any other areas that their very broad consultation covers. The consultation would still have a role to confirm that the proposals I am putting forward would be effective.
