| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “That is a very long time to be sat—” | 9 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “That is the point, isn’t it? Again, this is about young people’s content, where they find it and where they migrate to consume it. We can all accept that there are benefits to that and that groups can form, but we are talking about how we keep them safe and prevent the harms. I couldn’t really get to this point: are yo…” | 74 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Knife Crime “I thank the Minister for her tireless work and campaigning on this issue, both in this place and in our community of Croydon. I know that this moral mission is personal to her, but given her experience, does she agree that tackling knife crime requires a whole-system approach bringing together policing, schools, health…” crime | 74 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I guess the question is—and it is for Meta as well; thank you for being here, and I am not trying to ignore you—who is responsible for content on your platforms? I appreciate that they are user-to-user generated, but even if it is participation videos showing that and helping to stoke and encourage others to join in, o…” | 110 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Definitely, the commentary on it was left on your platform for quite some time. The initial posts were taken down but the thing that you said creates the hype—people talking about the thing—that stuff was left up for quite some time. I want to pick up on one thing very quickly. You talked about the accounts that posted…” | 89 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Then you should have the figure, shouldn’t you?” | 8 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Just so you are aware, your content is on the non-logged-in bit as well. If you go on to just the website, which is next to the slop and next to whatever else it may be, it is also there. The point that we are trying to make, I feel, is that broadcasters are jumping through hoops and doing the right thing when it comes…” | 92 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “On YouTube.” | 2 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Your content isn’t, but the platform that you put it on has been found to be so. Your walled garden of Sky Kids on Sky—your Sky platforms—I am sure has been created to the highest possible standards, but whether you are using it as a marketing tool or not, the content is on a platform that has been found to be intentio…” | 79 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “The point I am making is that although where you can control things, you are producing these things to the highest possible safety standards, you are being encouraged to put more content on to a place that you do not control and has been found to have been designed to be intentionally addictive. Do you think that the G…” | 77 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “How do we help, basically?” | 5 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Are your platforms safe for children aged 13 and above?” | 10 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “On a broader point around video sharing platforms, you have both spoken passionately about the importance of high-quality content and what goes into making the programmes that you make. We have heard Milkshake! described as a safe space for parents and children on the linear schedule. Do you think that video sharing pl…” | 57 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “So it is not economically viable to be using YouTube. It is more of a marketing tool.” | 17 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Are your platforms safe for children aged 13 and above?” | 10 |

| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Obviously, they have just been involved in a quite high-profile legal case in which they were found to have created a platform that is intentionally addictive to young people. Are you comfortable with your content being on a platform that is intentionally addictive?” | 43 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “I am an MP in Croydon, and the red versus blue trend had a significant impact on some local schools. One school had a lot of children in one year who did not turn up because they were so afraid of what was going to happen. I appreciate that this is about content on your platform. You are very clear that you do not want…” | 223 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Can I ask Rebecca the same question? Do you have that figure?” | 12 |
| 14 Apr 2026 | Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338) “Who am I to tell you how to do anything in your business, but surely part of the negotiation with a teenager to have an account could be, “You need to have this linked to a parent.” Thirty-five might be a bit too high, but surely you can do things to ensure that it is not basically like sticking seatbelts in your car a…” | 83 |
