Protect our children
There is an urgent appeal for an independent oversight group to oversee and govern social media organisations.
There should be better systems in place to protect our children from dangerous content on social media and social media giants need to make changes to stop inappropriate content and this can be inforced with an independent oversight group.
Why is this important?
I never thought as a parent to a 3 year old, that I would ever have to sit down and talk to my son about suicide and self harm because of video content he has seen, that has been allowed on YouTube kids!
I only let my son watch educational videos on kids YouTube, a site that is meant to protect our children and have more in place to stop inappropriate content!
I quickly discovered that some videos that came through was teaching my son to hurt himself, teaching him about suicide and to hurt others!
I feel sick that I am not the only parent whose child has been subject to these videos, they also come in advertisements and target children on social media.
No parent should ever feel that they can’t protect their children, that they feel their child is in danger within their own house!
No one is being held responsible and nothing is being done to stop this and protect our children.
More needs to be done, it may violate social media community guidelines
