Legislate to require tech companies to offer parental controls for under 17's
We urge the UK Government to require tech companies to offer parental controls for all users under 17, based on agreed standards. These controls should, at a minimum, manage screen time, app use, and content access.
Some tech companies allow children to disable parental controls at 13, and no regulations set clear standards for tech companies. I believe unrestricted digital access can negatively affect mental health, development, and learning. I believe standardised, reliable parental controls would help protect children, support parents, and foster healthier digital habits into adulthood.
