Parents and carers across Beverley and Holderness have been getting in touch with me about social media.
Many are worried about how much time children spend online.
About the content they see.
And about the pressure to be always connected.
These concerns are not about technology being bad in itself.
They are about whether the online world is always safe or healthy for children, especially those under 16.
Parents want support, not lectures
One thing I hear again and again is this.
Parents are trying their best.
But it can feel hard to set boundaries on your own when the digital world has no clear rules and everyone else seems to be doing the same thing.
That is why we're looking carefully at whether more can be done to help keep children safe online, while protecting adults’ freedom of speech.
The focus is on responsibility.
Responsibility for technology companies to do more to protect young people.
Not responsibility pushed onto families.
And not government-issued digital ID.
A sensible, proportionate approach
Any changes must be sensible and proportionate.
This is not about telling parents how to raise their children.
And it is not about policing the internet.
It is about whether clearer rules would help parents who are already doing their best, and whether online platforms should do more to prevent children being exposed to harm.
I know people will have different views.
Some will welcome clearer boundaries.
Others will have concerns about privacy, practicality, or unintended consequences.
That is exactly why I want to hear from you.
