Show Notes

This episode dives into the UK government's 2026 consultation on how to better protect children and enrich their experiences in a fast-paced digital world. We explore major proposed interventions, including potential bans on social media for under-16s, mandatory daily screentime limits, and new rules restricting addictive design features like infinite scrolling and autoplay. Join us as we unpack the crucial balance between safeguarding kids from emerging online harms—such as emotionally manipulative AI chatbots—while ensuring they build the essential digital skills needed for the future.
