@smithy966467_m @bbclaurak @mollyroseorg Just give them a nokia with calls and texts only. Do you use seatbelts in the car or do you resent the law on that too?

@bbcquestiontime On Iran: the justification for the war is their nuclear weapons programme. Has everyone forgotten they had a deal under Obama? It was Trump who ripped that deal up, not the Iranians. That tells us its not about the weapons and Trump wanted this war all along.

@STVNews I would like to complain that Prof. Sarah Pederson was wrong on last night's news to say that the new Australian Social Media regulations will criminalise young people. They won't. They will criminalise the companies.

@AshValeCommuter @MartinSLewis So just ban smartphones then.

[Samuel Rice @SamuelRiceGeo]

@PTID1898 @MartinSLewis Some do. Not enough. Why? parental controls aren't great. Its too challenging and complicated. There are glitches and workarounds. Kids find ways round it one way or another. They don't protect them from other kids devices. They lead to arguments. We still need to use them tho!

[Samuel Rice @SamuelRiceGeo]

@NStanberg @MartinSLewis Because parents are in a collective trap. We face a real dilemma when all the other kids have them and we don't want our child to be left out, socially or bullied. Its very real. #smartphonefreechildhood #anxiousgeneration

In approaching conversations with kids about our family tech decisions, kids are more likely to buy in if they understand that decisions are being made for the sake of something good, rather than merely to keep away something bad. #KidsForNow #tech

Roblox is the most popular gaming platform for kids under 13

But safeguarding charity the NSPCC says it's concerned children are being exposed to inappropriate sexual content on the platform

Listen to #Fileon4 on @BBCRadio4 and @BBCSounds

[Hayley Hassall @HayleyHassall]

Financial exploitation, grooming, gambling and access to inappropriate sexual content. These are the things I’ve found on the childrens computer game Roblox. Listen to my investigation ‘Roblox: A Dangerous Game? On @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @bbcworldservice @NSPCC #fileon4

Turns out lunatics can’t actually run asylums.

I recently learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head.

Now I'm going to make it *your* problem too. Sorry.

Hang onto your hat. This is wild.
