Unrestricted access to the internet is exposing children to extreme material they’re simply not equipped to handle. We’re seeing the consequences: anxiety, sexualised behaviour, and a growing risk from predators. This is a public health emergency. youtube.com/watch?v=BCGcYg…

Great article from musician Tim Arnold on screen addiction in society and going smartphone free. He screens his amazing Super Connected film in Belfast tonight at The Crescent Theatre. Live event only, once it's gone it's gone! belfastlive.co.uk/whats-on/arts-…

‼️ Urgent Please write to your MP before 7th May and ask them to support Jools Law, a vital amendment to The Data Protection & Digital Information Bill proposed by Ellen Roome which would give bereaved parents access to their deceased child’s social media data. Letter below 👇

I have always wondered this: Why can minors agree to the contracts of social media accounts, but no other contracts? I mean, 17-year-olds need a parent's signature just to go on a school field trip. Why do the tech companies get a pass? Is there a legal detail I'm missing here?

There are a number of analogies that help illustrate the collective madness of a society turning a blind eye to Bigtech preying on children. This is another good one.

Journalists for the BBC "set up six fictional social media profiles for children aged 13 to 15." The accounts were soon exposed to content "about weapons, bullying, murder and suicide." bbc.com/news/articles/…

Tomorrow at 9am, I’m premiering a campaign video for 'The Super Connected Petition' I made with Dame Imelda Staunton, midge ure💙 and more incredible supporters. Watch it on my YouTube channel: youtu.be/_JDiOl5TvRw Sign the petition: superconnected.technology/sc-petition-hu…

Thank you Josh Hawley for your kind endorsement. The Tech Exit releases in 3 days!

Childhood is in crisis. Children are now more unhappy, unhealthy & more developmentally delayed than they've ever been. Screentime is a significant factor. Children spend too much time indoors, alone & sedentary, staring at a screen. An urgent public health campaign is needed.

We’ve written to DfE to challenge changes to the move the Reception Baseline Assessment - a test taken by 4 yr olds starting school - onto screens. Our letter has been signed by parliamentarians, educationalists & campaigners. Laura Trott MP Katharine Birbalsingh telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

"is what you're seeing online real or fake?" is the question posed by an organisation claiming to support families but is actually funded by Bigtech including...Meta!

Just had the pleasure of meeting Katharine Birbalsingh Headteacher at Michaela Community School, viewing this amazing school and also discussing the complete ban of phones they have at their school. Well done!

Proud for #SuperConnected™ to be nestled in with these incredible individuals - Carole Cadwalladr, Carol Vorderman, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and Peter Jukes. ✨ There’s truly nothing like Byline Festival and nothing else like Super Connected™. #TimArnold #liveshow #music #film #art

Brilliant petition, endorsed by Ms Birbalsingh. Please sign and share

This petition will be hand delivered to 10 Downing Street on 6th July. Please sign and share to give it as much support as possible! We have to end the smartphone crisis harming our children!

Heading abroad this summer? Do yourself and your family a favour and turn your phone off. Ensure you have bought maps/travel book and printed out tickets. Give hotel number to loved ones as emergency. Phone off. Enjoy every moment. Forget WiFi, VPNs etc etc. Have a holiday!

Gaslighting is when an organisation funded by Bigtech sends out occasional posts purporting to care about the harm being done to children by their sponsors.

The government must mandate all schools be truly smartphone free. We knocked on the door of Number 10 demanding an urgent review of the guidance (see link for petition) Smartphones should be prohibited items, just like booze, solvents and chewing gum (!) change.org/p/we-ask-our-p…

Car-seat laws may function as contraception. Most cars can’t fit three car seats, so having a third child means buying a much larger, more expensive car. As a result, fewer people have more than two kids. According to one analysis, U.S. car-seat laws saved 57 lives in 2017,

In the flurry of articles over the last 48 hours denouncing the UK’s Online Safety Act, none deal with the fact that it is no longer tenable to do away with the OSA without proposing an alternative legal framework for protecting children in its place. Children quite clearly need
