Dr. Mary Aiken:

A tax is an interesting idea. Taxing social media or some aspect of the Internet could raise badly needed funding to address some of these problems. In Ireland, we tax plastic bags to protect the environment and tax chewing gum to protect pavements, but we will not levy the Internet to protect our children. We care more about rubbish than about our children. We need to raise money to fund the educational programmes we are talking about and the investment in research to deliver results. Professor O'Sullivan is a world leader in artificial intelligence and I am a leader worldwide in the discipline of cyberpsychology. We are prepared to volunteer our services and we should be able to lead in this area.
