What if you could fix your kid’s phone?
Risky features. Addictive design. These are choices — and they can be fixed.
Features Fixed
This is what a better internet could look like.
When the internet was first built it was meant to be a place where anyone could connect, share ideas and learn new things. But the platforms that now shape so much of our children’s lives were built very differently: to keep people clicking, scrolling and coming back for more.
Today’s kids have grown up using products shaped around attention and profit — not around what is best for them. Parents are already doing everything they can — setting limits, having difficult conversations, checking settings, and trying to keep up.
Parents alone cannot force platforms to redesign the products their children use but Government can. The UK government is now deciding what should change for children online, with action expected over the summer. This is our chance to demand practical fixes.
