On the issue of education, is there a role, beyond what is being done, for social media providers to do it credibly, or does it just become corporate speak? For example, we might bring to bear a legislative requirement for advertisements or perhaps users to have to go through a firewall to access some of these things. Is there a role for providers to talk to people, regardless of age - it can be designed and framed in a certain way - about the issues of consent and people's own personal responsibility? I have worked previously in education and think there is a role for education providers to play, but it needs to be even broader.

We need to empower and enable parents and guardians in speaking to their kids about these matters in an informed and appropriate way. We must also empower youth clubs and youth service providers. This may be happening already, but I am not aware if it is. How crucial is it that we reach a position where we can compel some of the providers in raising and honing in on some of these matters?
