Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly tragically took her own life after being bullied online, is speaking out against a proposed ban on social media for users under 16. He argues that such a ban could inadvertently increase risks by driving young users to unregulated sites, where they may encounter harmful content without support. Russell emphasizes the need for accountability from tech companies, urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to focus on enforcing safety measures rather than implementing quick fixes. He cites evidence from Australia, where a similar ban has failed to protect youth, with 60% still finding ways to access social media. Russell warns that this approach creates a false sense of security for parents, who may believe their children are safe when they are not. He calls for bold action from politicians to demand more from tech giants, suggesting that without effective measures, the situation could worsen, jeopardizing the safety of young people.
