Mr Kyle said he had been looking carefully at what the government needed to do next to "nail down harder" on safety for children online. It follows lots of discussions over the last few years about rules for children's social media use and the amount of screen time children have every day. Whether it's scrolling on social media apps, watching videos online, or gaming on phones, PCs and consoles, there are concerns young people are spending too much time looking at screens. Worries about the type of content children may be viewing have also been raised, with social media platforms like Instagram creating accounts specifically for teens which places restrictions on what young users can view and who they can interact with however studies have also suggested that the amount of time young people spend online doesn't have a big effect on how happy they are and time spent online cna have benefits, letting children to interact with friends and family, access new and interesting information and to have fun.
