Social Media: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions he has had with social media companies on online safety for children.
Answered by Feryal Clark
This year, as platforms start to comply with the duties under the Online Safety Act, the Government has high expectations that there will be a significant change in online experiences for children and Ofcom stands ready to act against services who fall short in protecting users online.
Ministers and officials have regular meetings with a range of stakeholders, including social media companies, to discuss how we can continue to protect children online. Details of ministerial meetings, including the purpose of meetings, are published quarterly on the gov.uk website.
