"In far too many years, we have given the social media platforms free play in the playing rooms of our children. There's been no limits. When we go into the city at night, there are bouncers who are checking the age of young people to make sure that no one underage gets into a party that they're not supposed to be in. In the digital world, we don't have any bouncers, and we definitely need that."

"Just below 50 percent of all children before the age of ten have at least one social media profile on a social media platform. And before the age of 13, it's almost, I think it's 98 percent. So, one thing is what they're saying and another thing is what they're doing or not doing, and that's why we have to do something politically."

“So yes, I definitely see the bad side of social media. But I think it's not the youths' responsibility to make sure there's no bad stuff on the internet. It's the people who created it, the government, they need to regulate what we young people see."

"I think it's a good idea. I think that we didn't really realise what we were doing when we gave our children the telephone and social media from when they were eight, ten years old, and I don't quite think that the young people know what's normal, what's not normal."
