00:00Yes, I think restrictions should be made here. I think social media is, I use it myself and I can
00:04see how addictive it can be and also I think I'm old enough to remember a time before the internet
00:12and when I heard what was coming I thought well this is going to be amazing people are going to
00:15have access to huge amounts of information and that doesn't seem to have happened. What seems
00:20to have happened is people get tramlined into their own beliefs and they follow their own
00:24beliefs and the algorithms will feed them more and more of what they want to hear and I think
00:28that's quite dangerous, I mean it's dangerous for adults, it's extremely dangerous for children.
00:33I think they should yeah and it's a big worry to parents everywhere with the amount of
00:42manipulation of the mind that goes on and little kids between the ages of nothing and 16, 17
00:50haven't a clue what they're being faced with or what they're being presented with and it should
00:56be stopped, well there is, I don't know how.
