Meta's Nick Clegg revealed that parents neglect to use the 50 child safety tools available on social media, indicating a troubling behavioral issue regarding online safety.
Clegg expressed frustration at the lack of engagement from parents, stating, "So we have a bit of a behavioural issue, which is: we as an engineering company might build these things, and then we say at events like this: Oh, we've given parents choices to restrict the amount of time kids are [online], parents don't use it."
Despite a positive experience claimed by Clegg, the testimony of whistleblower Frances Haugen and tragic incidents like that of Molly Russell indicate that there are serious safety concerns attention remains on safeguarding children online.
With increasing governmental pressure, the UK’s Online Safety Act aims to enforce responsibilities on social media companies to protect children from harmful content, reflecting a growing global regulatory trend.
