A phone is one thing, but being online all the time in your hand is another.
I'm very disappointed to see this and have written to both the MPs involved in opposing. We all know that fake bots work online to persuade our kids towards radical thinking, from #CambridgeAnalytica to the Reform troll army. However recently the horrific T*te brothers were given their own spotify podcast (I have rightly quit spotify in response). They also launched a BRUV platform to capture young people's attention and Facebook is full of bots pretending to be them, batting down any vocal opposition. This is not a landscape for kids!
