Technology is developing so fast. Anybody in this world who thinks that it is one and done will be wrong because the technology is always changing.

The reason why parents have been so supportive of a ban is because of the simplicity. It’s a clear message about expectations.

I think from the initial idea and discussion to implementation [of the act] was eight years. It is a long time. It’s too long. It’s too slow. This technology is developing so rapidly.

I’m much more bothered about the parents who have replied to the consultation, nine out of 10 of whom want to see social media banned for under-16s.
