Does social media radicalise children?

  • Summary

  • Lewis Goodall of The News Agents podcast is covering for James O’Brien all this week live on LBC from 10am, and of course, right here on James O’Brien Daily.

    Britain’s head of counter-terrorism has compared the harm social media can do to children to that of cancer by smoking. Indeed, social media’s potential to radicalise was highlighted by the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana, who watched violent and extremist videos online prior to killing three girls. Should there be a social media ban for children?

    Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has announced that she’d bar migrants on work visas who claim benefits from settling in the UK. Lewis asks his listeners how hard it actually is to secure citizenship in the UK.

    And, last month was the warmest January on record, according to new data. Will we ever be able to address climate change?

    This episode was recorded on the 6th February. Catch Lewis Goodall, in for James O'Brien, each day this week from 10am until Friday on LBC.
