Today with David McCullagh · Call to enforce legislation already in place to protect children online · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

Uh you have to make sure that the jet engine you're going to fly in when you next get on a plane is safe.

We just don't have that sort of knowledge as lay people.

So there is a step towards saying to the tech companies, you are not asking the right questions, you are not taking the right measures towards ensuring that children are safer online.

For instance, uh Von der Lauren.

Said in her speech that this new legislation would mean children under 13 would not be able to access certain platforms.

Well, the platforms themselves already have rules that say children under 13 shouldn't access them.

And 13 is the age they use because that's the American age at which children are given more safety under 13.

So that rule is there.

In the tech companies.

But again, people like Children's Rights Alliance is an organization which has a number of members, and one of them is Cyber Safe Kids, which does work every single year looking.

Kids.

And they say how many one-third of children under between eight and twelve have a smartphone.

The reason you have a smartphone is so you can access your Snapchat and the rest of it.

There isn't a person who's any detailed.

Or any contact with children who doesn't know that children under 13 are using social media, or an awful lot of them are, and that if they're not, it's because they've got loads of training, loads of information, and they've made decisions around it.

So one of the other things the Commission did say is there needs to be much more of a push towards better information for children, for those who educate them, who care for them.

And for general society, but they've been saying that for years and we still haven't got that.

Yeah, so so that is new as well.

One of the great things about this beach is they've moved from this focus on social media platforms to something they're calling social media plus.

So so they're looking at those services that children access.
