""I find it very terrifying because they're unregulated spaces," she said of the internet. "And I think for children, unregulated spaces are ones I want to protect them from.""
""So in our house, we've got a no social media thing. They're not allowed on devices if we can't see what they're looking at...""
""I mean sometimes the things we do to protect our kids ends up hurting them in the long run. While hopefully social media changes for the upcoming generation, socializing online isn't going anywhere. Teaching your kids to be responsible and understanding these tools is a way healthier approach than just abstinence.""
Keira Knightley has set a household rule prohibiting unsupervised social media use for her two daughters, aged ten and six. Devices are permitted only when parents can directly see what the children are viewing. The policy arises from concern that the internet represents an unregulated space from which young children should be protected to avoid potential developmental harm. Public reaction has been mixed: many commenters praised the protective stance, citing developmental risks, while others argued that teaching responsible online behaviour is preferable to complete abstinence as socializing online remains common.
