I the rescue scenes where there is still hopes of finding some survivors. Here in the uk, group of parents and social media played a role in their childrens deaths or criticising new Online Safety rules drawn up by the media Safety Organisation ofcom. 16 year old breonna are among those who took part in the bbc breakfast debate this morning and social Media Companies faced being named and shamed if they did not toughen up their checks and did more to stop young people who seem the most harmful content but many of the parents say ofcoms new traffic code lacks ambition. 11 young faces. 11 short lives. The online world playing a role in each of their deaths. Leaving behind them parents campaigning in their names so no other family has to go through what they have. And they have a simple message. Sit up and listen to parents that have lost their children. It is a David And Goliath situation. Its been quite painful and very frustrating as a parent. Everyone here knows only too well how damaging the products of big tech can be. Today, their chance to question the minister and the regulator and demand that they do more to rein in silicon valley. Parents and young people and everyone here today is kind of counting on us. First, the Chief Executive of ofcom. How are you going to impose and verify their age . Pretty much all the social media platforms have a minimum age of 13, but theyre not doing enough to. Theyre not doing anything really at the moment to enforce that. We know that, im afraid ao of 5 to 7 year olds currently are on social media. And i would say to any parents listening today, it is a very risky environment for children of Primary School age. 13 is still a child. Ia is still a child. 15 is still a child. Yet many Tech Companies assume that if youre 15, that is ok. Well, it clearly isnt ok for 13 to 17 year olds to be on social media today, given that its not a safe environment for them. Then a question for the minister. A question about suicide content on social media. Why are they allowed to publish this content . Thats a really simple and really powerful question. Under the act, they theyre not. My message here, sitting on your sofa today is that the Tech Companies dont need to wait for the full implementation of this bill. They can start now, and some of them already have, but they need to go further and faster to make the changes. They are waiting. How can we make them move . Yeah. So i feel your frustration on this. And if we could fully implement the bill tomorrow, id be doing it. Absolutely. What we dont want to do is do so fast that it has lots of loopholes or that they can easily litigate and its chewed up in the courts for years. We want this to be robust. So i would like to see a phone which at Point Of Purchase is set up and its safe by design for children. What weve done is really big. It is groundbreaking. Its more than any other country in the world has done in this space. Is it job done . Absolutely not. So many really brave parents have gone through so much horrendous, so, so many horrendous tragedies. And yeah, i think that they should be proud of the strength and the solidarity as well. I suspect if if they were still alive and seeing what were doing, theyd be theyd be really proud and theyd be cheering us on. 11 young voices may be stilled, but in the fight to protect other children, their parents will not be silenced. Angus crawford, bbc news. Let us turn to the situation in gaza where thousands of palestinians have been fleeing eastern parts of rafah to escape and israeli offensive.
