Dear Colleagues, I just wanted to share that last month I was invited by the New Zealand Parliament's Education and Workforce Committee to submit written evidence in their “inquiry into the harm young New Zealanders encounter online" - as they consider bringing in age restrictions and an under-16 ban similar to the new rules being introduced in countries like the UK and Australia. My statement on this has now published here https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/scl/education-and-workforce/tab/submissio... and on that basis, I have now been invited to give oral testimony at a hearing on 8th September 10.05 local time, I'll be doing this over zoom. I hope these comments are useful for you.
