Episode description
Today we look at new online safety rules for under-18s published by the media regulator.
Tech firms have been told to hide harmful content from children, or risk being banned for under-18s.
BBC Breakfast did a special programme on the story. It’s presenters Jon Kay and Sally Nugent tell Adam and Chris what it was like to speak to parents of children subjected to online harms.
Adam and Chris also question Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Michelle Donelan.
In statements, Meta and Snapchat said they had extra protections for under-18s, and offered parental tools to control what children can see on their platforms.
