No online platform gets free pass' when it comes to child safety, says Starmer
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"No online platform will get a free pass when it comes to children's safety on the internet, Sir Keir Starmer has said, ahead of setting out new plans to prevent harms. Children could be prevented from using virtual private networks (VPNs) to illicitly access pornography, and limited from speaking with online chatbots under proposals being floated by the Prime Minister to bolster online safety. The Government also plans to consult on banning children from social media, and restricting infinite scrolling."
Independent deploys reporters across issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. Independent maintains free access to reporting and analysis without paywalls and relies on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. The UK Government, led by Sir Keir Starmer, plans tougher online safety measures aimed at protecting children. Proposed actions include preventing children from using VPNs to access pornography, limiting interactions with online chatbots, consulting on banning children from social media, restricting infinite scrolling, and closing legal loopholes enabling chatbots to create deepfake nudes.
