About this episode

Jo Frost discusses her support for the UK's proposed ban on social media for under-16s and the impact of big tech on children's safety.

Jo Frost —of Supernanny fame— is throwing herself behind a social media crack down in the UK.  Their Government is looking to ban social media for under 16's.  Our Government has made moves towards the same, although the legislation is on hold.  Frost told Jack Tame governments need to do something, because children are dying.  She says there are real families burying their kids because of big tech companies, who are profiting off of children.   LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
