Because this is not an impossible challenge. These are some of the most innovative companies in the world and I believe they can solve it.

The Public Record
I reject that completely, because tech should adapt to the needs of society, not the other way around.
For too long, people have been told that [children sharing explicit images] is simply the price of modern tech – that nothing could be done. That government is powerless. That parents just have to accept it.
I reject that completely because tech should adapt to the needs of society, not the other way round.
I'm not going to walk away. We won an election victory in 2024 with a five year mandate.
And we're using tech to bring opportunity to every corner of the country - helping people into work, tackling inequalities, boosting skills and building a fairer future.
We're backing British businesses to lead the way, driving growth and investment that turns into more jobs and stronger communities.
This Government's choice is clear: the tech revolution must work for everyone, not just a privileged few.
No-one doubts the huge potential of tech to change lives. But we have to decide who that change is for.

We have to listen to them. They’re grieving, they’ve lost their son, and so everything I’ve tried to do in relation to this case has been grounded in what they must be going through.
Keir Starmer is right to call Musk out personally for fanning the flames of division.
And it is particularly important at the moment, because it is no exaggeration to say that we're living in more dangerous and volatile times than at any time in my life or in your life.
I often say you can sit in Westminster and read a briefing about what people are doing, or you can go and see it for yourself, and there is no substitute for coming to see it for yourselves.
