Starmer 'appeasing' big tech firms, says online safety campaigner
"the appeaser thinks that they feed the crocodile in the hope they'll be eaten last"
"We're giving away our kids to Silicon Valley to please Trump."
""crack down on the addictive elements of social media" that "keep our children hooked on their screens for hours""
Baroness Kidron accuses the prime minister of appeasing big tech and being late to regulate social media and artificial intelligence, urging immediate action instead of further consultations. She criticises reliance on the prime minister's experience as a parent, arguing his family are sheltered compared with others. The government rejects the claims, citing already-introduced strong online safety protections. A consultation has been launched on banning under-16s from social media and on curbing addictive app features. Kidron notes that many proposals were previously raised in the House of Lords and could be accepted imminently.
