Cath Knibbs @childrenandtech.bsky.social · 30/09/2025So last night I popped out for dinner and wouldn’t you know it I bagged myself a little (NATIONAL) award for the work I do on sharing about cyber and online issues to the public.

Sadly this will make it to the ears of children who will repeat and regurgitate only to be met with household opinions, views and perhaps even arguments, shame and rejection.

Cath Knibbs @childrenandtech.bsky.social · 12/07/2025Sadly doesn’t cover online safety enough (or provide enough guidance for you) and quotes “consensual” sharing of CSAM which they refer to as the intimate images. These have been misapplied (due to being misunderstood) We must do better in helping you in Ed protect children. This has failed 000

Cath Knibbs @childrenandtech.bsky.social · 24/12/2024How will we enforce the banning of social media for children? Fines for parents or schools that are caught letting children use them?
